Opel Manta 400

Vitesse Opel Manta 400

I've just picked up a 1:43 Opel Manta 400 from Vitesse. I've been looking for one for ages but they've always gone for stupid prices. Luckily this Manta 400 turned up at the right place, right time and right price.

This one is the Rothamns Opel Manta 400. As you can see the Manta 400 comes without the Rothmans livery, you have to apply the decals yourself. The model includes a seperate self-assembly Manta 400 light pod, a few photos and a stack of decals, all concealed within the plinth.

The Vitesse die-cast models were made in Portugal, this one dated 1983 and ref no. 130. Detail is very good even down to the Manta 400 bonnet, 5 stud wheels and those perspex windows with the breather slot.
