Hiya Fellas,
I'm pleasantly surprised by the overall reaction to the Manta - you guys have a wide and varied interest which is great in my opinion.
The car was purchased by me direct from GM in Luton in a deal we struck at the end of the 90's. I was in touch with the head of PR for Vauxhall / Opel. The car came with a GM certificate, stating that it was the last Manta 400 ever built.
I'm a little rusty on the History, but I'll have a go...........
A new car built for Andrew Wood, he completed the following rallies with her:-
1987 Welsh, Fram Filters Rally
1987 National Breakdown Rally
1987 Ulster Rally
