That looks very clean (as in not messed about with) – treat it with care and it will not lose value – probably gain :fingerscrossed:

I remember going with my dad to look for a new car for him in the early eighties. He was quite tempted by one of these but went for a Scirocco II in the end.

You going to tell us some more about it – what it was like when you got it, what you've done – and what you still plan to do?

wel ,this car is from 1984 ,the first owner drove 5 year with this car till he had a accident(little one)
the garage fix the car but the guy was short in cash ,so he wait and wait to pay his bill but after 2 years
he get a paybill from the garage in his mailbox , a very big one ,because every day the car standing in the garage is money
for renting the place
the owner say it was too much ,so the garage keep the car and sold it in 1991
my garagist bought this car in 1991 and put in a dry and warm building(hangar)
19 year that this car didnt saw a road anymore
till a month ago ,i was helping with him looking for some rims and i saw this manta .
i ask to him to sell it to me but normaly he dont sell old Opel's like that but because it was me his sold it
on body is in perfect condition ,only the engine needed some care like the rubber's ,feul pipes .......
that the story :hatsoff:

Story?

You find a car that has mothballed in dry storage for nearly twenty years and you can buy it.

It's more like a fairy tale or wildest dream come true! :thumbup:

I think we need more pics – I've not seen one of these for a while.
