Rapierdave Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 (edited) Interesting car as its W reg but on chrome bumpers, plus its a low spec model being an S. Probably has the 3 clock dash & has non SR steering wheel Car is in South Wales. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Opel-Manta-Berlinetta-SR-2-0-litre-Manual-1980/133065381814?hash=item1efb5097b6:g:B6MAAOSwSzxc65el Edited May 27, 2019 by Rapierdave 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAVALIERCOUPE Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Great looking car from a distance but close up needs full paint job blisters starting on all panels but it’s a straight 99% rust free example but he wants 5k I’d of thought 4K would be top money as it will want at least 1500 spending on it to get it towards mint and recommissioned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapierdave Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 I agree that £5K is probably a bit speculative without an MOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAA Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Manta GL limited edition. All in silver with steel sunroofs and 2.0S engine. Yes, has basic instruments and four-spoke steering wheel. Blue interior trim like this (picture of my car interior, not the one for sale). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmist Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Can't believe he's suggesting turning it into a rally car! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monaco Blue Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 5 hours ago, Rapierdave said: Interesting car as its W reg but on chrome bumpers, plus its a low spec model being an S. It was registered in August 1980 so only just a W reg. As you say though, odd having chrome bumpers at that time. 2 hours ago, KAA said: Manta GL limited edition.

That's one I've never heard of before. One wonders if it was to get rid of old spec chrome bumper models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irmscher Man Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Can’t be many of the poverty spec B series about now. This would be a such a great resto project. Looks solid enough and complete. It will be interesting to see what it fetches. It’s already at £4250 so might go a bit further yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1900SR Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) I was just about to post the advertising spec for the GL as I thought it would be one of those. My guess is it was late registered hence being on a W with chrome bumpers. I've never seen one and only ever seen the advertising sheet, so it's interesting that Kaa actually has one, and another has turned up. The advert seems to suggest black bumpers though? It does seem to have the wrong centre caps on the Rostyles, as they are A series ones (unless for some reason they went back to those?).

®evo03 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Thats one nice standard car, its only fault is sunroof, only the second b ive seen with one, which is weird. Even weirder, it was in a field, 20yrs moss for interior, t bag, weetabix shell, perfect sunroof and roof, wtf? Cant understand the manta market! But..... someone is gonna grab a bargin, then double it. Guess thats life..... nice car for someone in the know! No tax, buy a cheap exclusive interior, quads, skirts, spoiler, wheels, and paint, a better exclusive than your ever gonna build, or a gte spec! Gonna email seller and give him some advice! Ha,ha! Saying that lowered, dished rims, is all it needs, retro cool, and 4 speeds rock for b roads, better than a 5 speed for driving. Cant wait, im building a 2.0 4 speed, cant wait!

Danny D114BCW Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 That's a good price for a car with no MOT and needing work. Hopefully our fully rebuilt yellow B will fly out the door when it is completed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
®evo03 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Yeh, thought it was a steal at this price. So many possibilities for this car, its not difficult to turn this into a concourse, I bet the sunroof is mint! It will never need a 100 hours welding, My setup would be 40s, 4 branch, lowered, Ronal turbos 8 inch, lowered 60mm, Billys, leave everything else, now that would be fun, Sale of the year, so for, if you ask me, fair play to buyer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
