Welcome to the forum. Is that an inlet or outlet manifold and what year is the car?

Cheers

1981 1600 GTI (coming to a road near you soon…)

1983 1100 C

by law all cars have to have a means of towing the vehicle forwards and backwards so i'd think it does.

not sure on the manifold though sorry.

i would say it was the outlet manifold, the car im looking at had a weber carb on it, the guy sold the carb with the matching mainfold, i dont know if that gives you ne ideas. thanks for the help guys

The carb goes on the inlet manifold. I'd say the inlet manifold is quite generic across the variations of cars the engine was used in, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue to source another one of them. The exhaust manifold is probably more unique, for each car.

For breakers, there's at least 2 Mk1 specialist ones:
