Price: kr 48 000 (£3670)
Where: Auctionata classic car auction, Berlin, Germany
We featured this very Rekord coupe on our site at the very beginning and it has now found it’s way from Portugal to auction in Berlin. It’s a two owner car that has been kept completely original – the condition will turn some people off but we love an honest car with real, attractive patina and this is one. It presents very well in black and the lines are wonderfully sharp. We still think this would make a great hot rod, so long as all the original parts could be put back!
Price: est €8 – €12,000 (£5600 – £8500)

Please excuse us for featuring another Manta but we think you’ll agree this one is something special. The styling won’t be to everyone’s taste but the engineering cannot be doubted. This is a scratch-build car with a turbocharged Volvo engine, Corvette brakes and so much more. It’s for sale in Sweden for 350,000 kr (£26,000).
Price: 350,000 kr (£26,000)

Very ’70’s Manta for sale in Germany with a glorious orange paint job and black vinyl roof, for a thoroughly decent price, too. Very original, standard and rust free with only 2 previous owners.
Price: €6795 (£4900)
Where: mobile.de, Almelo, Netherlands
Not a lot of info on this car from the trade vendor in Holland, but the pictures do a lot of the talking. This is a rally-prepared 400 with a road car exterior, and looks barely used. There is huge interest in Manta’s, Kadett’s and Ascona’s around Europe now, so it would not surprise us if this sold despite the eye-watering price.
Price: €89,500 (£65,200)
Where: autoscout24.com, Uden, Netherlands
This very slick Opel in a great colour is for sale in the Netherlands. This car lived most of its life in Switzerland before being exported to Uden, and it looks like it has had just 2 owners. It’s got 54,500km on the clock and comes with the original service book that should back up the mileage. It was painted in 2008 and looking at the engine bay it looks like grey was not the original colour. This version is a 6 cylinder 2.2 litre auto, so it will make a fine touring car. IT looks a little low at the front but the stance is quite cool!
Price: €13,750 (£9870)

Are you in the market for a brand new Opel Manta? Well if you are you need to be prepared to shell out over £40,000 to get your hands on this, possibly unique 97km (60 miles) from new time-warp car. At least it’s the top-of-the-range GSi (GTE in the UK) with full documentation. Reasons as to why the car have never been used are unclear, but for this kind of cash we’d expect it to have been properly maintained all the while it was laid up.
Price: €59,500 (£42,400)

Owned by one, very careful elderly lady owner, this Manta is thought to have done just over 60,000 miles and is all original. It comes with very fetching red leather seats and the white paint shows of the clean and simple lines. I can see a set of chrome BBS wheels on this with a lowering kit sorting the stance but at this price you might be best to leave as is!
Price: €13,500 (£9,800)

This is a Keinath KC5 Opel Monza Cabriolet, one of only 144 built between 1984 and 1986. It is for sale in Germany on behalf of its UK owner – we expect he rightly assumes there is a much bigger market for this classic Opel in it’s homeland than the UK. This example lived some of its life in a museum and has always been cherished. It is said to be in ‘very very good condition’. As with a lot of after-market conversions, the lowered roof sits pram-like on the rear of the car, but the car does have a certain elegance and reeks of the 80’s with it’s colour-coding and actually quite subtle body-kit. Price is negotiable – and it needs to be…
Price: £25,300
