BARN FIND Rare Opel MANTA GT/E Rotting For Over 10 YEARS | IMSTOKZE 🇬🇧

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Hello and welcome to a new episode, This weeks upload we travel to a location that i often went too with my beautiful pup Lola, way before youtube was a thing, This location holds fond memories for me, Kind of a secret place if im being honest, not many know of it and im glad its been kept that way, Such a quiet place to walk and collect your thoughts, The car that you are about to see has been here many years and has suffered a lot over the years ive known about it, it sits in a barn just under a gap in the roof whereas rainwater filters down right on the rear of the car, Most of the backend has rotted away and this is something that needs to be addressed before its too late. I do hope you enjoy this episode as im sure you will, Thanks for watching....

    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..

    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 😂

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❤🙏🏻

    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!

    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.
