It's a copy with the redtop valver lump,still do me tho'! ;)

Used to have a manta gt/e back in the day, very good cars, and as said, you

just don't see them about anymore.

They are probably one of the only cars that actually look good with the twin

headlamp conversion.

Well tunable lump those Volvo T5's and nobody in the UK really does anything with them even though there is a proper Volvo RICA autherised tunner and parts supplier in the Midlands.

 

I thought about dropping on into a Zed. The Works RICA Volvo's that did the touring cars were knocking out real silly HP.
