Now I am going to have to inventory and document all my Manta A models....
BTW, http://members.aol.com/opelgtclub/modelle1.html is a freind of mine Rolf Ewert. He does have about every Opel GT model ever made and was my "dealer", back a few years ago when I had a GT. When I finally realized it was futile and too expensive to finish the collection, I sold what I had piece by piece on Ebay to get some money to play with my real Opels.
But as these urges go.. they return with a vengence. So I limited myself to Manta A collectibles only. Of which I think I have an almost complete collection. I am missing a few of the new Schucos though, and the 1/24th resin kits.
I do have one of the limited 1/24th Manta resin kits (a TE2800 to be exact), but currently Gene (BQS) is building it for me.![]()
I also have been collecting a lot of ADs, brochures, etc.. for the Manta as well. Maybe a Collectible Paper forum as well.. to compare Ads, etc.. On second though never mind.. I would have to inventory all those as well if you did that![]()

Yes and No..
I have a Lexan 1/24th Manta A Model, Custom built, Manufacturer unknown.
I also have a 1/66th (HO Scale) - Bauer (Yellow GT/E) I havent had the money to buy all the Bauer Manta Models. I think there were 8 or so colors.

Here are a couple of Opel GT slot cars I just ordered.

They also have slot car models of the Ascona A, Opel Commodore, Opel Kadett.
They can all be found at www.white-point.de

Love to know what they look like in real life. They look like the Bauer models. But the decals are similar to a lot of the IMU race versions.

They are designed to run on Carrera 1:24 tracks. White Point seems to be popular on the European slot racing circuit from a casual reading.Originally Posted by GoinManta

Forgot to mention that our friends to the North have a HO slot website that has several of the Bauer Manta HO models for sale and pictures of the ones that don't have. They also have a couple of Opel Rekords for sale.Originally Posted by GoinManta

That must be the one I have then, although the paint job looks a bit on the custom side.

Opel Ascona;
driving one is like living on the edge.
Only built from 1970 - 1975
Was at Hobby Lobby and, as always, looked at the car isle.
They have a 2008 yellow Opel GT. They were 30% off so I got it for $13.
