Opel Manta A
series GT/E by
Mark Kinnon
Overview
With the introduction of fuel injection the ultimate
production version of the Manta A series was conceived
and paved the way for the highly popular Manta B sereis
GT/E.
Note, this model was never available in the UK (many
years ago I was offered one for next to nothing and
refused, DOH!-MK).
