Just having a squint at the old AT and find not one but two Manthey'd Mk1's for sale.

Black one up at £49k and a silver one up at £52k. There's also a modded black mk1CS and a raft of comforts on both AT and PH.

Considering there's only 106 in the country there's over 10% for sale at the moment. Maybe its the arrival of 997GT3 and RS that's caused this mass sell up?!

There are actually 6 UK rhd mk1s for sale on PH and a further 5 on AT. Expressed as a percentage of the original 106 UK cars that's about 10.4% or over 10% as I suggested.

I was actually making a general statement of how many mk1s were on the market at the moment. The two manthey'd cars were of mention as this is a relatively (i thought anyway) rare aftermarket modification.

Its ok though - no apologies req'd :wink:

My intelligence insulted but my maths are sound for a change!

I only see 1, not 2?

I know G3 MTR - shame she is a left hooker, as she would otherwise command mid-50s if she were RHD!

There are quite a few more LHD Manthey Mk1s than RHD Mantheys... just more of them converted in Germany where they are more well known. But slowly that reputation is making strong inroads to the UK.

Hadn't noticed the silver one was lhd - it had been up at a higher asking price until recently. Dunno if you know Russell's (Zanzibar) mk1, IIRC he was offering that for £45k but it was too extreme for me when i was searching!

The second car is the black one with no photos, you have to read through the spec. before you get to the manthey bits. It doesn't mention lhd so i presume its a uk car. Its at £49k.

Russell's car had nearly 60k miles and I think it was up at 48k originally. His car was fab and a big reason why I decided to get mine Manthey'd. Sold withiin a week or so IIRC.

Yeah his was the only manthey'd mk1 i'd heard of at the time. I think Glenn's / Sundeep's was about the only mk2 as well.

I thought that a std GT3 was a big enough learning curve for me rather than jumping into a manthey'd one.

, black gt3 with manthey spec, looks fab with all the right bits, however are these better standard or tuned, resale-abilty wise or do you never sell them!!!!

Missing the all important Manthey KW suspension!! Deffo a must imho if you have the K4xx power upgrade. I think that car is very keenly priced and a bargain Mk1 considering the upgrades.

OC - how much are the suspension mods from Manthey? If you wanted to upgrade this car.
