Description

  • The Manta B GT/E Exclusive was the range topping version of Opel’s rear-wheel drive sporting coupé developed as a rival to the Ford Capri
  • Finished in its original Glacier White following a full bare metal respray and features the distinctive Exclusive specification: quad headlamps, Irmscher-style front and rear spoilers, side-skirts, five-spoke alloys, sunroof and red-piped Recaro seats with an Irmscher steering wheel
  • Powered by 2.0-litre CIH fuel-injected, inline-four producing around 108bhp, coupled to a 5-speed manual gearbox
  • The car has been subject to a full detailed restoration, with the whole vehicle inspected and components renewed throughout including gaskets, bushes and suspension parts, the latter powder-coated, with fasteners replaced or refinished as required
  • Accompanied by its original wallet and handbook, a selection of invoices and USB photographic evidence of the restoration
  • Awarded a Top 10 placing at the VBOA meeting by the Opel Manta Owners Club, with trophy retained
  • A rare opportunity to acquire a low mileage, range-topping Manta GT/E Exclusive, freshly recommissioned and ready for its next custodian
