Opel Manta A Series 1.9SR 1973.

[nicgm]

Opel Manta A Series 1.9 SR in citrus yellow from 1973.

I have owned my Manta for 11 years but a recent change in circumstances requires the sale of my much cherished A series.

Very nice condition inside and out with a remote central locking alarm and immobiliser.

The engine has been bored out to 2000cc and fitted with a Piper fast road camshaft with a vernier pulley. I had the distributor rebuilt and modified at H&H ignition solutions to match the engine modifications and is fitted with an Accuspark electronic ignition system. The radiator is an Alloy unit from Flo’s. It has a Weber DGV 32/36 carburettor with a chrome pancake air filter fitted with a K&N reusable element. The alloy 2.4 rocker cover has a breather modification using a billet alloy catch tank fitted with a foam filter.

Opel Manta GTE Getrag 5 speed gearbox conversion.

Adjustable gas dampers front and rear.

13x7 ATS Classic alloy wheels.

Original interior in good condition with a later Manta B SR steering wheel fitted.

The stereo is an early Blaupunkt Wolfsburg radio with hidden lead to enable use of a personal cd or MP3 player. 

11 years of written history with receipts and manuals.

£12995 Ono. Price reflects condition, rarity and spares (listed below)

Very nice A 

I think the way to go to get the price you want for this car is to consider selling it in a classic car auction.

Agreed, maybe one for the new calendar if the owner agreed. Some cars don't look good in yellow but that just does.

Thank you for the positive comments everyone. I’m more than happy for it to feature on the calendar if there is room. I have lots of photos and so does Ian Martin...?His pics are better than mine!
