Norev's 1:18 diecast Opel Manta A comes finished in bronze metallic, with doors and bonnet opening onto a period-correct cabin and engine bay. The first-generation Manta gave Opel a genuine European coupe rival to the Ford Capri. A characterful piece for a 1970s German coupe display.
TL;DR: Norev's 1:18 diecast Opel Manta A in bronze metallic opens its doors and bonnet over a period-correct cabin and engine bay. As Opel's answer to the Ford Capri, the Manta A carries genuine 1970s European coupe credibility.
Bronze metallic paint suits the Manta A's long bonnet and fastback profile particularly well, giving the coupe a warm, period-correct presence on the shelf.
Diecast Build Through the Opening Panels
The zinc alloy body gives this coupe genuine weight, and the bronze metallic finish shows real flake depth under direct light, well suited to the Manta's long, sweeping bonnet line. Doors and bonnet both open, the cabin revealing a straightforward, period-typical dashboard and bench-style front seating, while the bonnet lifts to expose engine bay detail representing the four-cylinder unit that powered most Manta A variants. Panel gaps around the hinges sit within normal tolerance for a diecast of this era's coupe shape, and the chrome window surrounds and bumpers are picked out with enough sharpness to stand out against the warm bronze bodywork.
The Manta A's Role as Opel's Capri Rival
Launched in the early 1970s, the Manta A gave Opel a direct competitor to the enormously popular Ford Capri, sharing a similar formula of affordable, sporty two-door styling over conventional saloon mechanicals. While it never quite matched the Capri's sales figures, the Manta built a loyal following across continental Europe and established a coupe lineage that continued through several further generations. For a collection built around 1970s European coupes or Opel's performance-adjacent history, the Manta A brings a genuine rival's perspective to a shelf that might otherwise focus solely on the Capri.
