1985 Very good condition, 12 months MOT, recent service For Sale

For sale is my Opel Manta. The car is in very good condition throughout, all panels are straight, the floor plan is excellent and free from corrosion. There are a few blemishes on the paintwork but are minor and do not detract from the overall condition.

The car was in dry storage from 1995 until 2017 when the previous owner recomissioned it with new brakes, brake lines, fuel lines, fuel tank and numerous other small items.

The interior is good overall with only minimal wear to the driver's seat. The parcel shelf is immaculate. Only the door pockets have a few cracks on them but still perfectly in tact and useable.

The car drives superbly, the 2. 0 engine feels strong and perky and easily keeps pace in modern traffic. We recently drove to Munich in it and it sat unflustered at 80mph on the Autobahn and made the 1500 mile journey and return with ease.

A few minor faults that I'll list for completeness:-

- Gas struts on the hatch have failed meaning it needs propping up with a piece of wood.
- Mudflaps catch on the road at times as the previous owner fitted lower springs.
- Fuel gauge does not work.
- Fuel pump is noisy but has been like that since before we took it to Munich so doesn't seem to cause an issue.

Overall this is an great example of an unrefurbished 'survivor' requiring no work to use and enjoy straight away. You may wish to attend to the minor imperfections in order to have a potentially show winning car, or do nothing and have a lovely looking classic that can be used regularly and turn heads from a car show to your local Sainsbury's. The mileage of 80100 is probably genuine but the paperwork has been lost unfortunately.

Car located in Sutton, on the border between London and Surrey. 20 mins from M25 or a short train ride from London Victoria.
