The seller offers for sale this 1975 Opel Manta A, powered by a 2.4-litre four-cylinder engine, paired with a 5-speed manual transmission. This first-generation Manta coupé is finished in red with a dark interior and presents with a sporty, rally-inspired appearance complete with competition-style door roundels. According to the seller, the car has been fitted with a 2.4i Motronic injection engine sourced from the Opel Omega A, together with a Getrag 240 five-speed gearbox, giving this Manta a more modern and torquey drivetrain than the original specification.

The Opel Manta A was introduced in 1970 as Opel’s answer to the sporty coupé market, sharing much of its engineering with the Ascona but wrapped in an attractive fastback coupé body inspired by contemporary American pony cars. Light, simple and rewarding to drive, the Manta A enjoyed considerable success both on the road and in motorsport, where it became a popular and competitive rally car. Today the first-generation Manta is increasingly collectible, valued for its clean styling, its tuning potential and its strong motorsport heritage.

This example, with its uprated 2.4i drivetrain, five-speed gearbox and purposeful rally-style presentation, offers a characterful and usable classic coupé with genuine sporting appeal. It is an attractive choice for an enthusiast looking for a Manta A with a little more performance than standard.
