Theres alot of things it may could be.. "Stuffed" rates highly....Its been white, green, blue, red.... hasnt got original badges, nor original engine, or manifold... mind you i does appear to be a monaro motors item.... As far as I can tell it could be one, but it could also be one of the crowd... oly way to check would be to up end it n check for the secret manton numbers :wink:

I wonder did the girlfriend enjoy driving it with that numberplate.

Too funny :D

Could be a good buy I would have it a guess it'd be hard to find the where-with all to properly restore it though if it is indeed a sports 850

and the white body had a broad blue stripe added when it was being raced at Wakefield Park, sometime in the late 1960's or 70's.
