The Dutch government is selling a special Opel Manta

Every year the government confiscates cars for many reasons. These used and old service vehicles are then sold by the Ministry of Finance. Autovisie shows exactly how this works in this report. This time there is a special Opel Manta for sale.

You can bid on the car on the government website. If you bid the highest amount, you can pick up the car. This amount is not what you end up paying for your fresh car. In addition to your bid, there is an additional 15 percent buy-up.

A special Opel Manta B at the Dutch government

The Opel Manta B was launched in September 1975. Sporty versions not only carried the model designation “Manta GSi”, some Mantas received special treatment from their owners. Just like the used cars now being offered to the Dutch government.

The Opel Manta B is equipped with a widebody package. This makes the copy look much more exotic than it actually is. The owner was probably inspired by Maranello. The Manta has suspiciously many traits of the Ferrari Testarossa.

Although this government-sold Opel Manta is probably more unique than the Italian supercar, the Opel has a lot less power. It is unclear which four-cylinder it is.

Not in good condition

Although the car looks cool at first glance, there is a lot to do. Damage, rust, one missing mirror and peeling paint. Although the mileage is only 93,784 kilometers, the occasion is not in good standing with the government.

If you enjoy spraying, sanding and welding then this Opel Manta could be a fun project. When making your purchase, consider the significant investment you will need to make to make this car really beautiful again.
