Opel Manta 1.8 Berlinetta Coupe 2dr Petrol Manual (90 bhp)

1977 Opel Manta SR Berlinetta – Concours Winner | 5-Speed | Red Velour Interior | ULEZ Exempt Available now at Position One Motor Company, Leatherhead, Surrey Position One Motor Company is proud to offer this exceptional 1977 Opel Manta SR Berlinetta – a beautifully preserved, show-standard example of this increasingly sought-after classic coupé. Restored to an exceptional standard in 2009 and maintained carefully ever since, the car presents in concours-level condition and comes with an impressive pedigree of show wins and originality. Finished in its factory-correct shade of Polar White with the original black vinyl roof, this SR Berlinetta is a striking example of Opel’s sporting flagship from the late 1970s. Inside, the original red velour interior remains in outstanding condition, complemented by period wood-effect trim and showcasing the care and attention that have preserved this car’s presentation for over a decade. The vehicle retains key original features including etched glass, correct raised-letter plates, a rare early-style passenger-side mirror, and factory shrouded headlamps. The wheels have been professionally refinished in the correct factory colour, and both the engine bay and underbody still reflect the high standard of the restoration. Power comes from the original 1.9-litre engine, now paired to a more desirable 5-speed manual gearbox that offers improved drivability and refinement over long distances. The mechanical components have been properly maintained since restoration, and the car remains both reliable and genuinely enjoyable to drive. Adding to its practicality is a factory-fitted heated rear window — a rare and useful option that improves visibility and convenience in colder months. With its rear-wheel-drive layout, sharp steering, and engaging dynamics, this Manta remains one of the most rewarding classics to drive. What truly sets this car apart is its award-winning history at the Limerick Classic Car Show – one of Ireland’s most respected classic events. It won First in Class in 2012, 2014, and 2015, took Best Overall Car in 2013, and was also awarded Best Opel that same year. These accolades speak volumes about the car’s quality, presentation, and provenance. ULEZ exempt and showing just 29,643 miles from new, this is one of the finest Opel Mantas currently available — an appreciating classic that blends genuine usability with show-level heritage. Whether destined for a collection, concours events, or occasional road use, this SR Berlinetta stands out for all the right reasons.
