Retropower probably the people I'd ask on something as bonkers as that.
A friends Manta (with Skyline drivetrain) built there is actually a usable, functional car rather than purely a showpiece.
The Manta sounds epic, love it. Thanks for the lead with Retropower, will look them up...A friends Manta (with Skyline drivetrain) built there is actually a usable, functional car rather than purely a showpiece.

is that the yellow one which was on the market for from memory c 90k - I love that car and seriously thought about it (then I realised I would probably crash it)
Possibly. They registered as a manufacturer and made 3 with Alzen VIN's (so that they could sell their old cup (not road legal) shells. This is the one i bought.https://www.total911.com/sales-spotlight-porsche-9...

yup that is the one I kept coming back to for months and thinking should I or shouldn't I ... congrats, am sure it is amazing to drive .
It's a properly brilliant car. Having sworn i'd never sell my faithful old cup car im now thinking its pointless keeping it, the Alzen slaughters it. Thanks for not buying it... I think it's a better car than my old 993GT2!Edited by anonymous-user on Thursday 1st August 14:34
