    i think it had been up for sale once before (maybe wrong)
    But not a bad looking rig. Ive seen it once or twice around the traps.
    dont worry, il start a ride thread soon.

    Dont stress man, i reckon the VR/VS hsv's will go up in value in the not to distant future! and the mantas are a rare breed of car, and yours is a bloody nice example to boot!!!
