:)I recognise the opel GT but does it run the 1.9 engine like the early MANTA? [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
I was waiting for some comments on the GT.....
Well if I must tell you about her.....She's refered to as 'Humbug' and was previously owned by the Head of Dealer Opel Team, Tony Fall (ex Rally driver and Owner of the company Safety Devices). He found the car in the back of an Opel Dealership, in 1981 during the San Remo Rally, they had the Ascona 400 at that time, and he bought the car to run during his time in Germany.
On returning to the UK and some years later he formed a company, Opel Classics, made up from Steve Thompson (Big Opel Dealer....did all the Irmscher cars), Tom May (Head of Irmscher UK) with the intension of building 'as new' Opel GTs. This car became the show car, running a higher spec and was on the market in 1991 for £18500!!!!
Anyway time past and despite knowing of her from '91 I came across her in '03 and bought her with the promise that I would NEVER sell her. She now runs a 2.4litre (utilising Lotus Carlton pistons and rods), has an Emerald ECU (fully mapable) and runs at 185bhp or more importantly 210bhp/ton.
She's fully kitted out, leather, LSD, big brakes etc and was entered in the 'Charimans Cup' at Billing in 2005 and will make an appearance in 4 weeks time...........if I get time to polish her.
Sorry if that's bored you all to tears, but GT's are my one big vice in life
