Sorry I have to pass on this request.
The Manta is to common for me to take pictures (unless it's a TE2800) since I have both models running in the family.
My brother has a Manta A and my nephew has a B. I've been thinking about having a photo session with both cars but just haven't got around to do it.

Manta A was the first Left Hand Drive car I ever drove and the first car I ever drove at an indicated 165 kph, legally, so I have a particular soft spot for them :wave:

Never ceases to amaze me the quality of vehicles that turn up at Castle Combe, on Saturady I was marshaling for The Sunlight Textile Services Pegasus Sprint and TNFer Jeremy Hawke brought along his 120 mph MG K3 ! :love:

a Lambretta (?),

The mudguard shape looks wrong - could it be an ISO, which were similar to the Lambrettas? Or even a Peugeot! That looks like a Peugeot lion.

(but I am very probably completely wrong)

What is this supposed to read? Appia? :confused:

Sorry to say this but this is IMHO a good example how not to do it. Or a good example for bad graphic design.

The best graphics in the world are useless if illegible (learned before 20 as a sign painter).

If you ignore the line through the middle, I think it says "annia."

Must admit I read it as Aprila until you pointed out that it actually reads Appia :blush:

I'm not sure the 1977 Mazda 1000 I passed my test in had one of these in the back.

(Cray)fords finest sheet metal ?

Presumably aimed at the US market ?

K1, I think, which has been all the way to Johannesburg and back, though not necessarily overland.
