Who doesn’t love a rally homologation special? This 1984 Opel Manta 400 is one of just 245 such cars created and one of 12 finished in this silver color. It’ll cross the auction block in the U.K. on December 2 during the Classic Car Auctions December Sale in Warwickshire, England. Estimates have the car selling at £40,000-£50,000—about $53,000-$66,000.

I would have no problems paying $100k even U.K. folding money for a GpB Manta or Ascona.  With one problem.  I don't have the money. crying
