In a ’70s world where it was by then well understood that a saloon could be made to handle as well as – perhaps even better than – a sports car, then a saloon-based coupé such as the original Manta couldn’t be a bad thing.Īnd if rare, luxurious and expensively engineered coupés were the birthright of names such as Lancia, Alfa and BMW, then Opel saw no reason why it shouldn’t have a piece of the action by selling the same dream at a price your parents could afford. Opel’s rallying prowess is steeped in the Ascona and Manta ‘B’, but you still sense the link to those cars in the Manta ‘A’, which proved that there was plenty of life left in traditionally contrived underpinnings. This coupe shared its namesake 90-hp, 1,897-cc SOHC four-cylinder engine with the equally pretty Opel GT, and was reasonably priced, starting at 2,331 (roughly equivalent to 14,530 today), or 1,000 less than the GT's MSRP.
