Manta 400 and Ascona 400 (which is the same plattform) are often overlooked when it comes to Group B. Even with Walter Röhrl winning 1982 WRC drivers title with Opel team and Ascona 400.

@Jeff-ue1rk A German Model from the 80's my dear.😘 A Manta B but I don't know if it was a GSi or B400 or if there was even a special 'Rally' model as homologisation of it. 😀🙃 Opel is (still) the brand.😄☺

13:05 is a Opel Manta B

If you drive that in America. Then you will be stopped by every officer. Because they want to see it up close. I myself had a Nissan Micra 1.3 l SRI (all red letters). Year of construction 1998. 840 kg. And my father-in-law who was a workshop manager at our local Nissan dealer. 134 hp. The counter went to the end and stayed there vibrating. Greetings from Spakenburg, Netherlands.

The WRC cars actually have to be road legal. Cause between the special stages they have to go on public roads. So they have license plates and the mandatory safety equipment. That means it should be quite easy to get one to the USA. It has been talks about a rally in Tennessee. And as far as I have read they did some testing there earlier this year.

From the Years 1973 - 1988 and 2006 - 2018 was the Olympus Rally mostly around Tacoma Washington in 86 , 87 and 88 the Rally even had a World Cup Status before and after atleast a National Cup Status so it shouldnt be a problem to get the Rally (WRC) back to the US

In Europe they are legal, cuz they have plates.

13:03, not a Nissan, I assume the camera was pointed at the wrong car. Opel Manta (B=2nd gen), that is what that thing actually is.

I only live 20 minutes away from here. Its great to see these cars on the road from time to time. Do love seeing them

The car that was shown when he was talking about nissan was actually opel manta, one of the most legendary rally cars of all time.

I had both Toyota Corolla 1600 GTi Hatchback, 160 Hp. Nice fast fun light, like 1100kg. And then I had Toyota Celica 1987, 2000 Gti, 200 Hp 1300 kg. They did not have turbo, but they were chipped and put on a dyno........ GOD I loved those cars......

I live close to this workshop what we need to bear in mind is these cars have worked hard all their lives and KG brings them back to life, without a doubt the most professional rally workshop in Ireland. We have a rich history of Tarmac & some gravel rallies. The passion that exists in Ireland is massive and we are all very proud of it. 👌☘️✨👏

12:42 This is an Opel Manta 400 Group B. Opel is the brand owned by GM in Germany, as is Vauxhall in the UK. The Opel Manta was a common car in the 70s to 80s in Europe. This is the 2nd version (from 1976 to 1979) of a first, more elegant version of the car introduced in 1970. The name comes from the Manta ray, for the 1st version the plunging hood protruding beyond the grille and the sleek body to remind a Manta ray, also conveyed by the emblem of that fish (a shark exactly) on the front fenders make it a future youngtimer. But for some strange reason the Manta 2 (like this Group B) has a sort of cult in certain Eastern European countries because it represents the cheap silhouette of a racing car, a kinda European Corvette Stingray, always that 🦈😉, they say, in obvious bad taste but that's what made it so successful in that particular cryptic cult. I already saw the original video once but your reaction videos are always refreshing, keep it up man 👍

Goodmorning Bro.About the group-B cars at 12:55 those are Opel Manta 400,and the have olso a Opel Ascona 400. that one was my favorite in the 70's and early 80's.Have a nice ride. 😎

Been enjoying your enthusiasm for the art of Rallying. It certainly is a visceral experience when actually there in person. My fondest memory was spectating the UK Lombard RAC rally, Welsh stage in a snow covered Clogeinnog Forest. I dropped my thermos flask down the bank we were stood on. I risked slipping down to retrieve it but immediately heard the marshalls whistle and the bangs and pops of an incoming car. I grabbed the flask and turned to scramble up the bank, just as Carlos Sainz blasted past in his Toyota Celica GT. He spat a small rock straight into the back of my head, flattened me to the bank, dropping my flask, which this time shattered the glass innards. Happy times 😂 I hope you get to experience it yourself one day 👍

I’d never even heard of this place until I watched this video. Just looked it up and discovered that it’s only 40 minutes away from where I live 😳 might have to stop by some time 👀

They were showing an Opel Manta when the guy was talking about Nissan 12:42

"This guys on the ride of his life" Don't think so. Larry is probably one of the best known automotive photographers around. He's been in some serrious weapons of cars and ride-alongs. Most of his video's are well worth a watch.. Have a scroll through for anything that takes your fancy, he'd got stuff from all over the world and is brilliant at what he does.

Dude you dont know Larry Chen? I would say he is one of the most well known automotive photograph.. Hoonigan, J.P.Performance, Rauh-welt.. just to name a few.. all had serveral " sessions /cooperations" with him. Even I , a rural town german know him.

@12:42-13:53 is not a Nissan. It's an Opel Manta.

Opel has got a quite huge history in germany. They got started with bicycles 😮 Founded 1862 building sewing machines, starting 1898 doing engine driven bicycles on top... Snd GM bought it 100 years after

Hi from Germany. Last week we had the Central European Rally, part of WRC 2023. You have to check out. Some stages are in Chech, some in Germany, some in Austria. I recomment the SS Bayrischer Wald at night. So cool.

12:50 Opel Manta

A friend was pulled over driving a works Sunbeam Rapier (that long ago) and the cops couldn't believe how fast he was going. He showed them round the car and was told "off you go, don't let us catch you again".

13:39 It's an Opel Manta, isn't it.

Both cars under the lift at 13:00 Were not Nissans but Opel Manta i400's, Opel was/Is a under company of Gm and is sold in the uk as Vauxhall/Holden in Australia and some models even made it into the us as A Buick/Chrysler

Car 12:51 is Opel Manta 400, Nissan is next to it.

Man that was sick af, god when I win the Lotto next week I am headed for Ireland LOL

The Toyota celica was the car caught cheating in WRC. Bairdy Fisher was an Irish rally and rally legend who like Colin Mcrae died in his own helicopter and that car was a Opel Manta GTE from 80s. Bairdy was also a legend in the Subaru Legacy and Impreza ✌🇮🇪

I watched this just last night. Some very nice cars.

750hp on that match box you would piss yourself with joy, fear and adrenaline 😂😂

the car by 13.00 is a opel manta

The Ken Block Ford Fiesta in the gymkhana Spec was capable 0-60 in 1.9 seconds!

something that you might not realise about europe and definitely northern ireland is that car dealerships dont really exist in the sameway they do in the usa, most used cars are sold on website like auto trader and gumtree, ive never bought from a dealership and ive owned 10 cars, getting a used car at a dealership is significantly less common than in the usa so car dealerships are a bit more specality or niche. Oc dealerships for new cars, lease rentals are there etc

those first group b cars shure looks like a pair of Vauxhall/Opel's..

Hi Ian. I also wtched this. Great gems hidden and i am a Lancer Fan.

For Mk2 ford escorts, just put Baby Blue in the KZread search. 👍

You can buy a Renault Alpine A110 in Europe /UK, it's not cheap but awesome . James May has one check them out.

22:21 that is semi-auto gearbox.

About 2 hours up the road from me....

When you come to the UK, he might let you drive one 😁

Those 2 old white cars under the Mitsubishi's are Opel Manta 400 Group B those are GM cars from Germany...

A guy in my city has a WRC fiesta as his daily. Everybody and their mother knows that car; its gotten to the point that police just instantly call him by his name when he gets in a traffic stop

My 2nd and 4th cars were MkII Escorts [ '76 1,100 and limited 1,300 'Linnet' ] and had a share in a 1,600 sport for a while. With a Mini 1,000 Super Deluxe as my first car and the 1,100 MkII Escort for my second I feel I lived in the best times. The go-kart handling and front drive Mini taught you to drive fast in corners and the Escort taught you to drift in icy carparks. Both cars 4 speed stick and the synchros were blown in 2nd on the Mini so I learned to heel-toe in my first car and double de-clutch. [ no granny-shifting here. BTW Ian, somehow I'm un-subb'd. I'll hit that button again brother.

#IWROCKER part two mail time is coming? We’re still editing the video guys, stay tuned for it? Cheers 🍻 guys….

Ian, imagine you had the chance and the means to go buy one of those. Come on, wouldn't you choose the Skoda Fabia R5 WRC over any of the other cars? Subarus, Mitsubishis, Toyotas, Audis, Fords, everyone knows them in the US but the Fabia would turn a lot of heads, that's for sure! 😉

i had a escort mk2, but mine only had 54 hp

street legal yes but imagine the insurance cost

13:55 is the Nissan. S12 wasn't the best chassis, but they look so stinkin' 1980s cool. Girlfriend I had in college had one, here in the US (sold as the 'original' 240sx) they were equipped to be kind of a Japanese version of the Chevy Monte Carlo. Soft suspension, low HP motors, and acres of velour in the interior. IIRC, it had a pretty kicking sound system for the day, though. Nice boulevard cruiser. When she let me drive it through campus, girls would try to pick me up right in front of her! First time I saw one in a rally video back then, I had another "..yeah, they never bring their best stuff over here.." moment (common sentiment among US import car fans). Edit: oh, man..I screwed it up! chassis isn't S12, it was the old S110. My fault, look for those instead to see what they looked like over here.

Ken Block. Wizard level Five.

OMG I WANNA GO THERE!! 👍 👍

Hello my friend, greetings from distant Chile. I would like your reactions to the great Peugeot 306 Maxi, an icon of the rally in the 90s 2000s. world champion at the time. There is a video called "peugeot 306 maxi pure sound" greetings.

If these Cars are sold in Ireland i wonder if they have left and right steering vehicels , or did they get converted to british roads ,or are that only ex britsh/irish rallycars 🤔

Richard Burns, RIP

U need to see proton rally car there r from Malaysia proton S2000

Heaven on Earth.

Skoda today, basically have a Audi engine in them...... Just look at the chart, Skoda Superb is a luxury car with a Audi 4RS engine strapped to it. Skoda, Audi, VW, Dacia, Seat, Lamborghini all the same engine but different badge.... Even Bugatti....

This isn’t a dealership, that is an art gallery

They might be street legal but you can't drive those outside of a sanctioned rally event.

Those Subaru's are thugmobliles. 😊
