896.0. "Opel GT" by MACNAS::BMULQUEEN () Mon Dec 18 1989 17:23

    Has anyone any info on the Opel GT (availability, price, etc.).
    There was an article which mentioned the GT in Popular Classics
    a few months back. The looks of the car really caught my fancy and
    ranks, in my opinion, with the classic lines of the Marcos 3-litre
    (Mark, take a bow!). Were they all lhd? What size engine?

    RE.2
    
    The Calibra is the modern day replacement for the Opel Manta, with some
    very impressive styling, ie looks like it should cost alot more than it
    does.I think it will also be available in 4wd soon!

896.11Price & Specs for Calibras - Is this a rathole or what!CURRNT::SAXBYIsn't it 5.30 yet?Tue Jan 02 1990 13:4715
    
    There is a note for the Calibra somewhere.
    
    The line up will be (in Britain) :-
    
    8 valve 2 litre FWD  - C. �14,000
    
    16 valve 2 litre FWD - C. �16,000
    
    16 valve 2 litre 4WD - C. �18,000
    
    Hopefully GM won't feel it necesary to adorn this beautiful car
    with a ghastly body kit like they've given the GSI Cavalier.

896.13Still interested?CURRNT::SAXBYIsn't it 5.30 yet?Mon Jan 22 1990 09:1311
    
    Billy,
    
    If you're interested the person who garages his two doors down from
    my garage is looking to sell his.
    
    He wants about �4500 for it, but is keen to sell it (as he's getting
    a bigger mortgage!) for cash so might drop a bit.

896.14Opel Kadett "Aero"NDLIS4::JRICHARDSSOAPBOX, a REAL video nastyMon Jan 29 1990 10:458
    Anyone out there own or know anyone who has a Opel Kadett "Aero"
    (another special based on the Kadett, but with a soft top, about
    1300 built in the early to mid seventies)?  A friend of mine runs
    the "Aero owners club" and is trying to trace a many of these vehicles
    as possible.  If there is any interest I'll get more details about
    the club.
