The B Series Opel Manta was released in August 1975, just ahead of the Opel Ascona, as the second series Manta. originally Coupe form based directly on the Ascona, but with a design more influenced by its GM sibling the Chevrolet Monza. with its droop snoot nose, also used on the Vauxhall Cavalier. In 1977, a three-door hatchback version appeared to complement the existing two-door booted car. This shape was also not unique, being available on the Vauxhall Cavalier Sports Hatch variant.

 

In 1982 both versions were given a facelift, and marketed as the B2 Manta. Which resulted in, a plastic front spoiler, side skirts for the GT/E and GSi models, a small wing at the rear and quadruple air intakes on the grille. Also the 1.2-, 1.6- and 1.9-litre engines were discontinued and replaced by the 1.3-litre OHC engine, the 1.8-litre OHC and the 2.0-litre S and E CIH engines, The B1 GTE was renamed GSi from 1983 (except in the UK where the GT/E name continued).Production of the Manta continued well after the equivalent Ascona and Cavalier were replaced by a front-wheel-drive models, the Vauxhall Cavalier Mk1 Sports Hatch and Coupe being discontinued in 1981.
