1979 Opel Manta SR Berlinetta review from UK and Ireland
"A very underrated sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew.
Some electrical problems with the lights and air conditioning.
Headlights had to be replaced with twin headlights.
General comments?
The car looks lovely and is cheap to spruce up.
There are plenty of spare parts around and it is very cheap to replace worn or broken parts.
The interior is red suede, red vinyl and has GT/E clocks.
The car is very comfortable and everything is within reach.
The car is very nippy and fun to drive in all weathers.
