An original French car, this exceptional Group B Manta 400 was rallied by the gifted driver Hugues Delage, who won several rallies in France and the Coupe de France des Rallyes in 1990 and 1993. It still has its technical passport from the time, issued in 1986 and showing its competition history until 1991. It also competed in the French overseas departments and territories, notably in Guadeloupe, where it was damaged in an accident and left on the spot. In 2016, the renowned founder of the C. M. R. Team in Alès, Charly Bourachot, undertook the restoration and technical preparation of the car on behalf of its current owner. The original bodyshell was too badly damaged, so it was rebuilt from another Manta with the strengthening specific to Group B. The engine, a 2441 cc "four" with a Guerent head which now develops over 300 bhp, was also rebuilt by Jean-Luc Bolla, a well-known Ascona 400 specialist. The "dog box" is a five-speed Getrag, similar to that in the BMW M3, while the limited-slip diff comes from a rally version of the Opel Monza. Following the work in 2017, an FIA technical passport was issued and remains valid until 2027, a testament to the scope and standard of the work carried out. Set up in this way, the car was entered in a number of historic rallies, including the Tour de Corse. It has covered about 2000 km since being restored and has recently been serviced. Rarely offered for sale, the Group B Manta 400 offers performance, reliability and exclusivity. This example, carefully set up by well-known professionals, is ready to take part in the top historic rallies.

D'origine française, cette exceptionnelle Manta 400 groupe B fut notamment engagée en rallyes aux mains du talentueux Hugues Delage, vainqueur de multiples rallyes en France et de la Coupe de France des rallyes en 1990 et 1993. Elle dispose en effet encore de son passeport technique d'époque établi en 1986 et au sein duquel on peut retracer le parcours en courses de la voiture jusqu'en 1991. Elle courut aussi dans les DOM-TOM et notamment en Guadeloupe où elle fut accidentée puis laissée sur place. C'est en 2016 pour le compte de son actuel propriétaire, que le réputé Charly Bourachot fondateur du Team C. M. R. à Alès, va réaliser la remise en état et la préparation technique de la voiture. La coque d'origine étant trop abimée, celle-ci fut refaite comme à l'époque à partir d'une autre Manta avec les renforts propres au Groupe B. Le moteur, un bloc 4 cylindres de 2 441 cm3 avec culasse Guerent développant aujourd'hui plus de 300 chevaux fut aussi refait à neuf par Jean-Luc Bolla, spécialiste reconnu des Ascona 400. La boîte de vitesses à crabots est une Getrag à cinq rapports similaire à celle des BMW M3 et le pont autobloquant provient d'une Opel Monza version rallye. A la suite des travaux en 2017, un passeport technique FIA fut établi, celui restant toujours valable jusqu'en 2027, venant valider la qualité et l'entendue du travail réalisé. La voiture ainsi préparée fut engagée dans quelques beaux rallyes historiques dont le Tour de Corse. Elle a parcouru environ 2000 km depuis sa restauration et a été récemment révisée. Très rares à la vente, les Manta 400 groupe B offrent performances, fiabilité et exclusivité. Notre exemplaire préparé avec soins par des professionnels reconnus est prête à prendre le départ des meilleurs rallyes historiques.
