1987 Opel Manta GTE Exclusive review from UK and Ireland
"This car was ahead of its time in terms of its looks"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My E.C.U PACKED IN AND FILLED THE ENGINE COMPLETELY WITH FUEL!! It does happen,very rarely fortunately. Replaced Spanish made e.c.u with German one.
The car is as new condition Dolphin grey, the previous owner was my father in law.Standard, apart from second passenger mirror fitted and gte badge fitted to front air dam.
General comments?
I only drive the car in the summer months to local motor sport events / shows. I don't show the car,if anyone wants they can look at it in the car park, which does happen.
Insurance is usually a classic car policy and allows me 1500 miles per year.
I like the car so much,I am currently building a 400 replica. Donor is an 1988 white exclusive.
