This never came with any Group A options or Features, (would be awesome if it did but) Hoenstly who would knock back a car with Group A Throttles, i know i wouldnt, yer it may not be orig 100% but common you have orig VN Group A TTB's on your car, thats something every Man/Lady wants for there VN 5ie's........... or any 5ie infact....

Those manifolds are not that expensive,I picked one up about 6 months ago for bugger all(was going to use it)But now I have sitting on the shelf untill I decide what to do with it.They crop up on trade me from time to time as well,And some people do not relise what they are selling. please post a pic of your build plate. Cheers Marty ps it is a fine looking wagon!

In what universe, is a genuine Group A manifold of any kind, not expensive? For the same price, one can get a custom fabricated sheetmetal manifold built to suit an exact engine combination. You'd have to be one lucky SOB to get one cheap these days. The smile would be so big you'd be walking through doors sideways for about 6 months!

They pop up from time to time in NZ pretty cheap because people don't know what they're worth in OZ

The fact that he was trying to sell it last year for $18,000 is good enough evidence for me that it's not the genuine Group A wagon he says it is I'd love for him to prove us wrong because it's a really nice car!

Post #36 the owner said he'd get pics of paperwork etc, still waiting. Also says it's the only one ever made, if that's the case, why mod it? If you had the only one of something ever made you wouldn't mess with it ( I wouldn't anyway). 3 years on and still no proof of authenticity? Hmmmm........
