Yes , someone else also said it looks like a small Chevy Camaro . The car was built in the GM plant in Port Elizabeth in South Africa , but is a German Car . Opel is one of the oldest car makers [Adam Opel] First Opel was built in early 1900,s
I have got a very good hint for you to keeping the nice old Engine in good shape with todays ultra dry eco fuels: Use 1:100 API TC two stroke oil / fuel mix as regular driving fuel, that keeps the old fuel-system gaskets, rubber parts, alloy parts etc... and cast iron metal surfaces of those vintage engines in excellent shape...and it also lubricates the valves and upper piston regions. Most Porsche vintage owners in Germany do so :) Also keeps carbs and tank clean and rustfree
I,v moved to Melbourne , Australia 9 months ago and the Manta is here with me. Been told it is possibly the only one is Ausie . Nobody has seen or heard of one here so far .
I saw and fell in love with the Manta when it came out in 71 , The first one i saw was a white one standing in the local dealer showroom . I was only an Apprentice then , and could,nt stop drooling over it . I made a promise that i WOULD get one !

My first Manta was light Met blue , this one is flame red . Do you own a Manta?

I hope to buy a Manta A in flame red the near future. Have always loved them ever since I saw my first in real life about 10 years ago.
PS In which part of NZ is it best to live?
