Restored Opel Monza 3.0 GSE for sale

There are cars that you want, and then there are a few, rare models that you, want. A want that seems to arise from deep within your soul and takes over your whole being. A sort of primeval want, on the same level as the need to breathe, eat and sleep. Yes, I want a Ferrari 250 SWB and an Aston Martin DB5, and all manner of other recognised icons, but I want this Opel Monza GSE more. The only question is, does the price of a kidney cover the £27,495 asking price? If it does, sign me up.

I love it because it hails from a simpler time, when big, hearty coupes didn’t have to have a BMW or Mercedes badge to impress. This was a car that engendered admiration in anyone with sense, despite coming from the General Motors stable. The Monza began life as the A1 model that was produced from 1977 to 1982. This was a car that competed with the Mercedes C123 and BMW 6 Series, and it was a handsome car from the off.

By 1982 the car had received a facelift and became the A2. The overall shape was the same beguiling, teardrop silhouette, but with a more streamlined nose that incorporated larger headlights. At the back, the number plate was lowered and integrated into the bumper and the space was filled to make the taillights appear full-width feature. That was very of the time, as were the far more modern-looking, one-piece plastic bumpers front and rear.

The GSE developed a very handy 180hp, which was good enough for 0-62mph in around 8.5 seconds with the five-speed Getrag manual ‘box. However, this car doesn’t have a manual 'box. It’s an auto - but before you all groan check out the other addition. An easy win was fitting the later Carlton GSi 3000 24-valve engine because it was a straight swap, and that’s what we have here. And the twin-cam head and dual-ram breathing mean it’s good for 204hp.

Plate not a million miles away from my old Manta. That was B799 VCK

Does it have the same bodywork material as Golfinger's Rolls?

A lesson in how not to waste a hundred grand.

behave the manta was the better car !!

Surely the question is sho on earth spends £100k on an Opel Monza

I’d suggest that’s bollocks. How can you spend 100k on it?

All that effort to put a slushbox. Fantastic looking car but it needs a manual back in

Can never quite get my head around why anyone would restore a car if it’s going to cost significantly more than it’s worth. But, I’m glad they do.

The styling is superb … has aged beautifully

Clearly a lesson in how not to invest a hundred grand!

Lovely, but £100k is a bit spicy!

Carpervert

Love it😍

£100k… 🤥

The buyer can also give me about £20k and have the matching number plate B16 GSE to go with it, it's actually B10 GSE but times are hard 🤣🤣
