Was shown a 1975 Opel Ascona A 1.9SR today. Can't remember the last time I saw one, but it was a loooong time ago.
It has recently rescued from a very long rest in a garage (nice dry garage by the looks). So far work has been restricted to getting it MoT able and running. Remarkably no welding needed, mostly brake overhaul, and it now runs and drives.
4 door in red, bodily it looks very solid. Just a few minor storage dents. The owner is wondering what to do with it and is having trouble finding much information on owners clubs and potential value.
I know more or less nothing about old Opels and Vauxhalls and having had a rummage on the web I'm not much wiser! The As seem to be near extinct in the UK. Seems the Manta OC might be the nearest thing?
Anyone got any pointers? I did suggest to the owner he should look on here so there might even be some pics in due course.....
Cheers
Nick
