Description
Opel Manta B CC 1. 3S SR (1980) – 80, 000 km from new
I’m selling my 1980 Opel Manta B in CC specification (Combi-Coupé / 3-door hatchback), finished in original SR trim (Sport Rallye). French car, second owner, in outstanding condition.
Ideal for collectors, enthusiasts of Youngtimers or historic regularity events.
Key features:
Year: 1980 (Phase 1, fine bumpers)
Mileage: 80, 000 km from new (proven history and mileage)
Engine: 1. 3L OHC (overhead camshaft, aluminium block), S-spec 75 bhp. Dual-choke Pierburg 2E3 carburettor with manual choke.
Drivetrain: Rear-wheel drive, manual gearbox, original short rear axle (ideal for lively handling).
Original SR (Sport Rallye) finish highlights:
Complete instrumentation (Rallye pack): functional rev counter, oil pressure gauge and voltmeter.
Driver’s position: original sports steering wheel and fully working dashboard clock.
Style & comfort: blue sports seats with strong side support (perfect condition), original SR side stripes and original two-tone sports wheels.
Period extras: fully working period radio.
Overall condition, servicing & original accessories:
Documentation & paperwork: supplied with its original documentation (owner’s handbook / user manual).
Period tool kit: original spare wheel and its original jack in the boot.
Bodywork / chassis: absolutely no rust. The chassis is very sound; the car has always been kept in a dry garage. Very well-preserved original paint.
Interior: strictly perfect condition—no sagging upholstery; flawless carpets and plastics.
Recent service (May 2026): engine oil change, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, carburettor gasket, thermostat and K&N air filter.
Enthusiast’s take: This version’s biggest strength is its weight. The 1. 3S OHC unit is far lighter than the old cast-iron blocks (1. 9S or 2. 0S). Result: the front axle is much more agile, sharper and less prone to understeer. Combined with the short axle, it’s a proper little throwback rear-wheel-drive car—lively, great fun, with very sensible running and fuel costs.
