Historia del modelo

El Manta A, launched in 1970, was Opel's stylish answer to the sporty coupé boom of the era, arriving on the market shortly before its close relative, the Ascona saloon. With its long bonnet, low glasshouse and distinctive four round headlamps set in a wide grille, the Manta captured the spirit of the American pony car in tidy European proportions. The 1.2 S version, added to the range in 1972, made the fashionable coupé accessible to a wider audience, delivering the same head-turning looks with an economical and simple engine that is easy to maintain today. Light, mechanically straightforward and endearingly honest to drive, the Manta A has since grown into a cult classic, with a devoted following and a lively parts and club scene across Europe.
