However the Manta GT/E continued to be sold by Vauxhall/Opel dealers in the UK, alongside the front wheel drive Vauxhall Cavalier range. The badge above the grille looks more like a round 'Opel' badge and the decal on the air-dam is styled more like 'GT/E' than 'SRi' This I believe is an Opel Manta GT/E with the registration from a FWD Cavalier SRI saloon. It could even be this Manta with the wrong registration number. /vehicle_293050-Opel-Manta-GT-E.html
