Bit like Ash with his love of the Cortina E, I've always had a soft spot for the Opel Manta, but never owned one

Not got the wonga to buy it, but this looks a lovely example. If the Euromillions came up at a 6 figure level (so > £100,000) I think I'd treat myself

The Ford Corsair is a similar looking car - you can buy one for four quid on ebay (its a Matchbox version apparently). Or the ignition key for £4.95 ?

That Opel looks nice but you'd need to spend a good bit more on moving the steering wheel as they've renovated the car but made a mess of the steering wheel position.

daft germans!

Certain styling cues really work for me - and others leave me cold. That Manta is right from just about every angle (although I think maybe the roof line could drop a bit more to make it less of a 2-Door saloon and accentuate the Coupe styling?)
