Looking at the photos, she looks a good n, but that's photos  
That's a nice colour too. Shame about the person's grammar  :-?

It'd be nicer if there was a bit more [size=20]GREEN [/size]though!

That's exactly what I thought. I can't see the point in spending money on listing on Ebay, taking time to do the advert and then not checking your spelling, grammar and punctuation.  :-/

There was also the small coupe which had quite a following at the time... the Manta. Not to mention the Euro-corvette, or as it was officially known the Opel GT... both were RWD, naturally.

.... and the Opel Kadett coupe
clicky
there used to be one around here last year, but i haven't seen it for a while now - probably be attacked by the tin worm.

I used to have a manta exclusive coupe in dark mettalic blue untill some old dear rear ended it and wrote it off. Loved it aswell that was about 15 years ago.

Mate of mine had a Chevette. Complete lemon that his dad bought him, and then claimed he bought a rubbish one so he learnt about car maintenance.

I think we had the gearbox in and out about 5 times. Eventually built a good gearbox out of all the shells in his garden and it was lovely. Until the prop UJ broke and thrashed around taking chunks out of the back of the gearbox.

For a 1.3 you couldn't half hang the back end out though.

I must admit, back in the day a couple of us bought an accident damaged 3.0 senator slushie for £50, bought a wing (same colour), a headlight and an indicator of an old carlton. All for £15. Patched it up, took it to knockhill, caned the living s**t out of it, only for the anti-roll bar to rip off mid corner, weird, then for the rest of the laps, the thing felt it was going to go onto the roof every corner!

Fun though!

We got the thing home only to find 2x footlong holes in the chassis legs, totally rotten.

So,

It just so happened a manta happened upon us a few days later. Can you see where this is going? 2.0 out 3.0 in, original gearbox, 2 x XR3i fuel pumps, mix of 2.0 and 3.0 looms and what do you get?

Summit which would not go in a straight line

Our yard got broken into a few days before the next Knockhill day and the thing got pinched.

We found it burnt out a couple of days later.

This was the closest I ever got to a Monza.

BTW, Check this video, I like it!
