Opel Manta 1988 GT 1.8 L EXCLUSIVE (Genuine 56,036 miles)

Sale price: £3,750.00 make an offer

Seller's notes: This is one of the best Manta Sports Hatches available, appreciating every year this car is in excellent condition for year solid for age. Slightly rough idle drawing air through gasket/flange plate on Inlet manifold is easy fix. Underneath is very solid with only a few bits of surface rust. The jacking points are excellent, only welding done on car is to one sill. The n/s wing has a poorly repaired dent from before I took ownership not had time to repair. Lower doors had some surface rust and drivers had two small holes (now filled & repaired temporary) as had front of Bonnet & panel above lights. Fuel tank needs attention/replacement leaks above halfway full, might be a hose-can be repaired or replaced. Brakes not 100% due to sitting last 9 months, I've lowered original asking price to reflect the few niggles needing attention.

1988 Opel Manta 1. 8 litre GT Exclusive Hatch for Sale.

FHJ  1Y
 F-plate (One of last German made Manta's assembled in Belgium) 
Engine. box axle. brakes. steering all in excellent condition. Starts first time in all weather and drives lovely. Very quick and responsive though a tad bit rough idle drawing air through gasket/rubber flange plate between inlet manifold & Varajet II Carburettor. this is an easy fix.  
Interior is excellent no wear to be found due to low mileage. There is a genuine radio cassette but previous owner didn't have the code so I've driven without music (Enjoy engine note instead).  
Underneath was very solid last M. O. T with only a few bits of surface rust here and there. The jacking points are excellent. only welding done on car is to one sill near seatbelt for M. O. T. a short plate.  
The n/s wing has a poorly repaired dent from before I took ownership not had time to repair and front of bonnet and panels above lights needs prep & spray. Lower doors had some surface rust and drivers had two small holes (now filled & repaired temporary) as had front of Bonnet & panel above lights (Poor repair done needs properly prepared and sprayed.  
This car could easily be returned to showroom A1 condition with some TLC a few hundred pounds approximately. I'm hopefully emigrating later in the year to N. America for a Pastor's role so want to find it a good home this summer. Will be very sad to see the car go tbh :( 
Car has only done just over 56k miles was 43k when I bought her in 2010. was dry stored over winter with exception of 2015 when it was my daily driver til last Oct (New car after my father died).  


Overall. it is a fantastic car my 2nd Manta since 1999 easy to get addicted to these modern classics. Very usable. as a classic daily driver which is appreciating each year. The alloys are not Opel standard but will be supplying original steel rims (with tyres) and a spare set of new brake discs (Current ones are still good). Fuel tank has a leak needs hoses replaced possibly.  
Fitted with large bore "Sportex exhaust system less than 2 years ago still excellent.  
The car turns heads wherever I take it the reactions I've been getting the last 6 years have been marvellous. M. O. T certificate valid til October.  
Priced to sell quickly. I reduced original asking price by £500. reasonable offers only please.  (I loved driving this car it's a reluctant sale).
Call with any questions or to arrange viewing N. E. Glasgow suburbs.
