Here is the link:

This is certainly a nice SWB coupe and I particularly like the rear end.

Hell yeah, I will get one! Just put a door handle on the doors or will it come with a "comfort access" feature that opens the doors without touching them?

I remember that the Opal Kadet was around when I was a teenager and one of my cousins had one and it was a neat looking car, but rather an anemic performer. With modern technology it could be something special, but concept and reality are far different matters.

Yeah......Opel were sold by Buick dealers. It was a long time ago.

GM was also selling Vauxhall in Canada.......not any better LOL.

I had a 1967 Opel Kadette Rally Sport before my 1970 Opel GT. The Kadette was very anemic.....better not try & drive into a strong headwind...it was horrible. The GT was an awesome car! Not for everybody though as it was a two-seater sports car!
