    Original Manta Cars Photos

    When I bought the original Manta Mirage factory demonstrator, I also received a box of photos, slides, and negatives that had been taken by someone (Tim LoVette?" at Manta Cars. These cover details of the factory, staff, advertising photos, and pictures that were used in their manuals. Please don't re-distribute these pictures without permission.

    Wow those are awesome pictures! Thanks for sharing.

    I really like some of the detail - for example my car doesn't have latches and I am planning to put in Bear Claw latches and in one of your photos there is a shot of the door latch location. One image looks like a seat with an adjustable track. I've never seen that before. I don't know if it would work in a Mirage. Great stuff to reference here.
