Manta 666 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) Hello all 1988 Opel Manta GTE Exclusive, Irmscher edition. In rare Starmist black. Low mileage at 57648 with service book up to 33000 still in its holder in the passenger footwell. 4 previous owners. It’s had Willwood calipers fitted anda new Sportex exhaust (still have the original exhaust) these are the only modifications to the car, the rest is complete original down to the radio and speakers. The interior is fantastic condition other than some slight wear to the drivers seat. Original steering and centre pad. The paint work it stunning with no rust around or in the sun roof area. But please bear in mind that this a 35 year old car so it does have some stone chips on the front bumper area. This car has never been restored or re painted so there is some surface rust on the axles and underneath. It’s has had some small patches welded on the rear area of both seals but that is the only welding it’s had. MOT expires on the 24th October, loads of history including original purchase invoice when the car was new. I have loads of pictures of the car top and bottom, which I’m Happy to share. I’m very sad to see this car go as I’ve only had it a couple of years. Due too to many projects and lack of using it, It’s time to move it on to someone who will make more use of it and show it off. I’m looking for £25.000. Located in East Sussex. Any question please ask. Cheers Edited July 17, 2023 by Manta 666 Lowered price 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've tried several times to trace it to hopefully buy it back but I can't find it. It's not even had an MOT since. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m surprised with the recent hike in prices it hasn’t cropped up at a classic car auction 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealExile Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Can't find mine either no tax since 92 and I sold it with a full MOT, I'd done all the work on it, every so often it would jump out of 2nd, had a non matching drivers side door card, and GTE bumpers and side skirts the rest was standard SR, I guess back then people would scrap them especially as it only went for 300 quid if I recall correctly.

Vince Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Sold mine in 95. It was spotless. Found it by chance again in 2020. Occasionally I wish I hadn't. Heartbreaking the condition I got it back in. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisb Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 That is a stunning car and i wish i was in the market, my starmist black exclusive was right up there with the best ive owned. Would love another. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick-Manta Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 It might be worth trying to get a set of original wheels. I'm pretty sure all exclusives had the anthracite ones with a silver outline, and that would suit the starmist black a lot better too. If we were a bit nearer, I'd offer to swap my mint exclusive alloys for the silvers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the silver ronals are correct for Starmist Exclusives. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starmist Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Silver Ronals are definitely correct on a black exclusive 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
