OPEL MANTA GTE

 

 

This was one of the most exciting drives and very similar to the HP Firenza.

This car was bored out to a 2.1 litre, had a big valve, skimmed head, close ratio gears and lowered, stiffened suspension.  Felt every slight bump in the road and was a raw drive but it was great.

Had a memorable race against a 3.0 litre Capri which it happily lived with.  Unfortunately, it was eventually sold due to a company car.
