The Manta A was released in September 1970, a competitor to the Ford Capri, featuring two-door coupe styling and distinctive round tail-lights. It took its name, and a few minor styling cues, from the Manta Ray concept car of 1961 which also famously influenced the 1968 Chevrolet Corvette C3. In the UK, the first Manta was sold only as an Opel and was normally equipped with a 1.6 or a 1.9-litre CIH engine. In the United States, only the larger, 1.9-litre, engine option was offered. The Manta came with either a four-speed manual or a three-speed TH-180 automatic transmission and came to be known as one of the best-handling cars in its class, going on to win many rallying events in both Europe and America.

Finished in a very much 'period correct' Orange with Black vinyl interior, this right-hand drive Manta was acquired by the vendor in July 2012. Since purchase, it has required only minor items to pass its annual MOT test and has also had a new sunroof fitted. Several useful spares are understood to accompany the car. Currently registering some 54,500 miles TLP 32M is described as having “very good” paint, bodywork, engine, 3-speed automatic gearbox, electrics and interior. A rare and attractive survivor.
