Speaking of which, the Manta is still fitted with what we believe to be its original 13-inch, five-spoke alloy wheels. There is plenty of evidence of the Manta having received an extensive Waxoyl-type treatment at some point, and this may well help explain its staggeringly good condition it really is a bit of a time warp car and enthusiasts will know how rarely they are found in this sort of condition. As are the light lenses, glass and badges, including the wonderfully period chrome Manta emblems on the front wings. The Manta’s modest chromework is all bright and shiny, and the twin factory pinstripes are in fine fettle too. The paintwork is good overall and while it may have had the odd localised repair, the vast majority of the finish appears to be the original.

The doors all open and close easily, and the flanks are free of ripples and major dinks. The panels are straight and true as well, and have good alignment and shutlines. Almost certainly never having seen salt-covered roads in its life, it is free of the sort of serious rot and corrosion that plaques the European cars. The white coachwork, brilliantly offset by that matt black bonnet, is in a wonderful condition. GT/E aside, the Manta was famed for its handling rather than its performance, although it did have considerable competition success in later life, most notably as a rally car. The fuel-injected GT/E arrived in 1975, just in time to witness the A-Series’ death.

Both manual and automatic gearboxes were offered, with four and three speeds respectively. The Manta was fitted with a 1.6-litre or a 1.9-litre four-cylinder engine, although European buyers could also opt for a small, 1.2-litre engine. Launched as a competitor to the Ford Capri, it was loosely based on the Manta Ray concept car of 1961 (a wonderfully futuristic car that also heavily influenced the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette) and featured distinctive rear lights that took their cue from those of the Opel GT. A two-door coupé, it hit the roads two months before the four-door Opel Ascona saloon with which it shared almost everything bar the exterior sheetwork, glass and trim.
