BelKits 009 Opel Manta 400 Gr. B Uren van Ypres 1984

The Opel Manta is a German passenger sports car that was first presented to the public in 1970. Its serial production started in the same year and continued until 1988. The car was powered by a relatively wide range of engines - depending on the version - with a capacity of 1.2 to 2.0 liters and a maximum power of 60 to 110 HP. The Manta model was developed and implemented into series production as Opel's answer to Ford Capri cars. In order to shorten research and development and reduce costs, the Manta model shared many components with the Opel Ascona. Two generations of the car were created during the production process. The first one was designated as Manta A and was produced in the years 1970-1975, and the second one (Opel Manta B) was produced in the years 1975-1988. Both versions differed primarily in the available drive units, but also in the floor plate, body style and equipment. The Manta model was replaced in the Opel company's offer by the Calibra model in 1990.
