God I hated them ThumbDown , but each to their own. Hope it drove better than the road-going version (had to).
But I absolutely loved the Astra GTE Love Drool

I don’t think Jamie Oliver would agree, his camper has a Porsche 2.4 and quite a few opt to fit the Porsche 911 engine.. fast milk float eh and bet they leave most cars wanting Laugh

Clearly thousands around the world disagree with you hence their popularity and being a collectors vehicle, each to their own eh..can think of many vehicles I would chuck off a cliff ... a good number built by British Leyland but even some people have a love for the Allegro Laugh LOL

But coming back to the Manta, in its time it was a successful rally car that had a huge following..

Now there`s a blast from the past:The Allegro

In its day better known as the All Aggro.

If memory serves me right and its a long time ago Flapper, if you jacked it up with anything other than the supplied jack in the wrong place the front windscreen fell out. Must have been the early days air-conditioning.LOL
