This is a beautiful and noble little car, congratulations. Please keep us posted as you progress.

It's nice to have two Kadett A threads on the site at once.

Question Detail carb-side engine pic

. . . thanks for the earlier engine bay pics . . . would you post one of the intake-side of the engine without the aircleaner . . . future reference, "A"s, in original state, are very rare.

That is one sweet car. I wouldn't mind getting a Kadet/Ascona/Manta into my garage to sit along side the GT. I don't think the other half would allow it

I'm also in the process of aquiring one of these.

I need the chassis number for licencing etc..

Where is the chassis number / tag located on these models ?

I have to sort that out before I can fetch it
