⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

A stylish '70s sports coupé, combining distinctive design, engaging rear-wheel-drive performance, and timeless classic appeal.

Introduced in the early 1970s, the Opel Manta quickly became one of the most recognisable European sports coupes of its era. Developed as Opel’s answer to the growing demand for stylish, affordable performance cars, the Manta offered sleek coupe styling, practical usability, and engaging rear-wheel-drive dynamics. Sharing its platform with the Opel Ascona, it provided reliable mechanicals combined with distinctive looks that helped establish a loyal following among enthusiasts.

The Manta S represented one of the more desirable versions of the range, featuring the elegant lines and characterful details that define these classic coupes today. With its pillarless coupe styling, chrome detailing, and driver-focused interior, the Manta remains a rare and increasingly appreciated classic, particularly in original right-hand-drive form.

This 1973 Opel Manta S has been cared for by Cliff over the years, having been meticulously maintained throughout his ownership. Finished in a striking red with its original badging and black roof, this example benefits from a fresh paint finish completed in 2000 and presents as a very original and well-preserved example.
