[edit] Opel Manta in UK
The Opel Manta was never badged as a Vauxhall. True, there was a Vauxhall Cavalier coupe and 'Sportshatch', which used the same bodyshells, but those were dropped in 1981, the same year in which Opel dealerships merged with Vauxhall ones. The Manta was the last car to be sold as an Opel in the UK, when it was dropped in 1988. (The Senator was rebadged as a Vauxhall in 1984, but the Monza remained an Opel until it was dropped two years later.)
This site has the history of the Manta, and the Cavalier equivalents. Quiensabe 20 Jan 2005 17:02
