Opel Manta B CC 1. 3S SR (1980) – 80, 000 km from new
I’m selling my 1980 Opel Manta B in CC trim (Combi-Coupé / 3-door hatchback), in original SR (Sport Rallye) specification. France-origin, second owner, in truly remarkable preservation condition.
.
Ideal for collectors, enthusiasts of Youngtimers, or historical regularity events.
Key features:
Year: 1980 (Phase 1, slim bumpers)
Mileage: 80, 000 km from new (verifiable history and mileage)
Engine: 1. 3L OHC (overhead cam, aluminium block), S version rated at 75 hp. Pierburg 2E3 twin-choke carburettor with manual choke.
Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive, manual gearbox, original short rear axle (great for a lively feel).
Original SR (Sport Rallye) trim specifics:
Complete instrumentation (Rallye cluster): Working rev counter, working oil pressure gauge and voltmeter.
Driving position: Original sport steering wheel and a functional dashboard clock.
Style & Comfort: Sport seats with reinforced side support in blue velour (as new), SR side stripes and original two-tone sport wheels.
Period options: Functional period radio.
General condition, servicing & original accessories:
Seats & paperwork: Supplied with its original documentation (owner’s handbook/ manual).
Period tool kit: Original spare wheel and its original jack are present in the boot.
Body / Chassis: Absolutely no rust. The chassis is very healthy; the car has always been kept in a dry garage. Very well-preserved original paint.
Interior: Strictly perfect condition—no sagging upholstery; carpets and plastics are immaculate.
Recent service (May 2026): Engine oil change, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, carburettor gasket, thermostat and K&N air filter.
Enthusiast’s opinion: The big highlight of this version is its weight. The 1. 3S OHC block is significantly lighter than the older cast-iron units (1. 9S or 2. 0S). Result: the front end is much more agile, accurate and less prone to understeer. Combined with the short axle, it’s a genuine little old-school rear-wheel-drive rocket—lively and great fun—while keeping running costs and fuel consumption very reasonable.
