Greetings and Salutations from the Netherlands

BreurtieHakkers · 11-11-2008

My name is Jeroen from Hardenberg Holland, near the German border in the east.

I've always been nuts about Opel and my current Opels are:

71 Manta 1900 automatic

This is an original Dutch Manta and has been professionally been restored to its factory specs many years ago.
It's a rare paint/interior combination, Arctic white with a red interior. (original)
In Holland this was an expensive Manta in 1971 as it came with almost every factory option available, such as an auto transmission, a steel sunroof, foglights and an SR interior and chassis package.

94 Astra GSI

This is a hot sport version of the bread&butter Astra F hatchback, which was produced from 1991 until 1997.
I am the second owner and this GSI is in a very good original condition.

Until this August I also owned this 79 6 cilinder Commodore, but I sold it because I would like to own a original 69-73 GT
I am still looking for a nice example.

Very Nice, and welcome to the site. My Sportwagon (Ascona A Voyage) was originally white with red interior, but, I changed it over to black.

Welcome aboard Jeroen and good luck finding your GT.
I like your collection. I have a restored 70 GT, currently restoring a 69 rallye kadett, have a 67 caravan waiting restoration and have a driver 73 Manta that I will just fix a few dents and repaint after I complete the restorations. Good Opeling.

Welcome to the site. You have some really nice cars!

Best regards,

Matt

Hello and welcome. You have some beautiful Opels. The white with red interior was fairly common for the Manta A and Ascona A in the states when the cars were new. And automatic transmission and air conditioning where also fairly common options here also.
You've come to the right place for Opel nuts!

Thanks everybody for the warm welcome, it seems everybody here has a lot of nice Opels.
I sure enjoy my Opels and I can't wait to own a nice Gt
