Brings back great memories. I was lucky to own 2 of these back in the early 80s both red. Love the look of it low slung back end looks great beefy and purposeful...what most modern cars lack even the fast ones don't look like these proper cars
Had a 1980 Ascona B 2.0/SR, lowered 100mm with Koni Gelb springs/shocks. Also had Recaro front seats from a 1988 Manta GSi. Had a lot of fun with that car back then.
I had an Ascona back in the day 2.0 s I think well 2.0 something anyway, the reg was (CRO 4 T) nothing like this rally car but a quick road car back than with lovely handing, you could razz it around no end and still stay rubber side down had the Manta coupe also great days when you had to drive a car to get the most out of it, what a time we had me and my mates lovely. Chased a guy in a Rover SD1 3.5 from Torrington to Exeter on the old road and there wasn't 30ft between us all the way Ha !
