Manta

(A series 1970-74)
(B series 1975-88)

Introduced Sept 1970, with 1.2 (Euro only, not UK), 1.6S, 1.9S, 1.9 Rallye,
1.9SR, 1.9 Berlinetta (luxury), 1.9 Turbo, 1.9 DOT Berlinetta Turbo. For
many the only real Manta, with a better finish & roadhandling than the
others (both in standard trim). Mine 1972 is a Ray West modified 1.9S,
spec as per previous, totally stock from the outside! Rack & pinon
steering, servo ass. brakes - disk (f) & drum (r).
Fully original cars were the Rallye was the one with the performance options
& interior gauges, & bonnet paint. This paint was dropped in 1972 and the
model was called SR. Also in 1972 the Berlinetta was introduced, spec as
the SR but with more luxurious seats. The 1973 German Turbo was based on
an SR with a front spoiler, Rallye graphics & 125mph top speed. Britain's
(more successful) Turbo was based on the Berlinetta (all were black, and had
front light wipers!). This had alloy 14" wheels and was good for 130mph.
There was one Ottershaw turbo made (A-series) but I never saw it. My 2.2
out accelerates, top speeds, and brakes them all! 3 speed GM auto trans
was available on all models. Main + points;- excellent handling,
steering & looks!
Specs for 1.9SR, Berlinetta & Rallye 0-60 mph 10.5 sec, 106mph top
Specs for 1.6, 0-60 in 12.5 sec, 102mph top
Specs for turbo 1.9, 0-60 in 8.5 sec, 125 or 130 (Broadspeed/Ottershaw) top
Spec for Ray West 2.2, 0-60 in 6.2 sec, 138+mph top
Manta B series
Range as above, intro 1975. Same drivetrain with different body
configurations, coupe & hatchback. Many familiar parts!
Manta C series
Intro 1982. Variants include GT/J (1.8) 1.8S, GTE (2.0) 400 (16valve,
2.4). Facelift of B series body with front, rear & side spoilers, and

GT 1968

The Opel GT production began in september 1968, three years after the 'Experimental GT' prototype was shown at the IAA motor show in Frankfurt (1965).GT bodies were produced by french manufacturers 'Chausson' and
'Brissoneau & Lotz'. Final assembly took place in Bochum, Germany.
There were initially 2 models, the GT 1100 (60ps) and GT 1900 (90ps).
(PS= DIN Horse Powers). Initial price was DM 10780,-
In 1969 a targa style model 'Aero-GT' was shown at the IAA
in Frankfurt, but not put into production. Aero prototypes remain today
and are sometimes shown by Opel at German classic events.
Production ended in August 1973, total production of 102463 cars.

Opel Commodore
The Commodore was based on the Rekord body, and with a 6-cyl engine, thus a more high performance and luxury model. The Commodore lived as 3 series over the years and was somewhat a successor to the earlier Rekord A/B 6-cyl models but with added luxury and comfort. The A-series was based on the Rekord C bodies and appeared in both 4-d sedan and Coupe variants.Then the B model (see brief pictures below of a GS/E coupé) and finally the C based on the Rekord E. A final successor was the first Opel Senator model, somewhat in the same tradition. The final Senator was more like the Omega, a different animal. Commodore's often became popular with young people when price and thus condition had come down.
Few cars survived the sporty treatment, and fine restored cars today are not cheap.
