1984 Opel Manta GT/E

My 1984 Opel Manta GT/E Bought from a garage in 2013, it has a story to it. The original owner (from new) had pampered it and only put 16,000 miles on it in the 32 years he’d owned it. He had all of his cars MOT’ed and serviced at the same garage and when this one’s MOT Ran out, it was put in the garage for the MOT and the owner disappeared of the face of the earth. The car sat for months before the men at the garage contacted his lawyers and basically said they wanted to sell it on or get rid of it. they’d contacted his wife and kids and nobody had seen him since the day of MOT. So the lawyers said that they could sell it, we bought it for £1,499. (very cheap for it) and have owned it ever since, I love it it’s incredibly quick but is in storage till the ACTUAL Summer comes (mind you I’m in Scotland and so that’ll probably never happen), but anyway. car started to rust due to sitting for so long so was welded and now is waiting for it’s engine to be tidied up and to go in. Can’t wait till it’s finished and I can go for a drive. Will video the first trip to the MOT centre
