    Sorry to hear about your dog mate. I lost mine in October. So many things remind you of them. Watching your videos she used to be so happy. No leed. Just flying around sniffing and exploring. We give them such good lives.

    Wow.. what a blast from the past?? I remember these cars like it were yesterday.. The GT/E is the last of the line up in production up to 1987 on an E plate.. The rarest ones I've seen were the sloping roof 2 door booted version with double round headlight conversion.. Even if you were to get your hands on this one and wanted to restore it.. the engine and the wheels would be seized solid for sure.. treating the rust and paintwork plus finding parts would be like looking for hens teeth?? All the money needed to bring this car back to its former glory.. this car is 'probably' too far gone unless you have deep pockets..

    @johngaskell68 9 місяців тому

    Wow I can’t believe that’s still there Stu, I remember the first time you visited it..! Really needs to be saved , very frustrating that the owner can’t be found. It’s potentially a 1 owner car as well, registered in Feb 84,V5 issued march 84 then tax expired in august 93. Only 11 years of service..😢it’s like parking a 2013 reg Astra GTC up now 😩 Awesome as always mate, looking forward to the next vid❤🙏🏻

      Correct, but the car may have been there since 1993.
      Obviously someone has been there in the last five years, and the trucks are less exposed to the elements.
      He could still leave a note though, but it will be evidence that Stokze was there poking around and cleaning windows 😂

    I remember the original video featuring this manta and it's sad to see it still there rotting away. Try rubbing the dirt off the windscreen and see if there's a tax disc there as it might have writing on it and find out if there's the name of a post office on the tax disc because alot of people in rural places used to tax their car's at the local post office and just maybe they might know who owns this car and also look on the land registry department to see who owns the land.

  • @sutty2007
    @sutty2007 9 місяців тому

    Such a shame, looks to have been a Carmine red GTE with Daytona check interior. Unfortunately the chassis legs will be dust, judging by the rest of it. They rot from the inside. Funnily enough I have a complete back panel in that colour ready to go on, only I’m saving it for when mine needs doing!

  • @razorsz195
    @razorsz195 9 місяців тому
