Welcome to the home page for Dave Jackson's Opel Manta
Competition Car Project. Take a look at What's New in
my web, last updated on
19 May 2010. Yes, I have finally started updating these pages
again.
Here is a quick history of my Opel Manta Competition Car. It all
started in March 1992, when I purchased the car as a non-runner shell with no axle
and quite badly rotted. Move your mouse pointer over each picture for a
short description, then click on it to see a bigger picture.
