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.

MG X power SV (Sports Veloce) After acquiring Qvale Automotive (Italy) and with a view to US sales plans to produce an MG based on the Qvale Mangusta were hatched, One attraction was the potential sales in the United States, as the Mangusta had already been homologated for the American market. . The 2001 prototype was deemed to be not aggressive enough designer Peter Stevens modified the original design and brought the design from clay to production in 300 days, The production process was complex, partly caused by the use of carbon fibre to make the body panels. The basic body parts were made in the UK by SP Systems and then shipped to Belco Avia near Turin for assembly into body panels. These were then assembled into a complete body shell and fitted onto the box frame chassis and running gear and shipped to the MG Rover Longbridge factory to be trimmed and finished. The target price of £ 100,00 was set, with the baseline model going on sale at a cost of £ 75.000 to £ 82, 000 for the SV-R model.
Some parts came were sourced from Fiat, headlamps from the Punto Mk.2 rear lights from the Fiat Coupe. Powered by a 4600 cc V8 of 320 bhp the manual had a top speed of 165 mph. This car is registered as a 4998cc this would make it the SV-R version with a 32 valve engine of 385 bhp.

Produced by Alpine the A110 was powered by various Renault engines, the car was a natural progression from the A108 which used a lot of Renault Dauphine components, the A110 was updated to use R8 parts. the A110 featured a steel backbone chassis with fiberglass body. The A110 was originally available with 1.1 L R8 Major or R8 Gordini engines. The A110 achieved most of its fame in the early 1970s as a victorious rally car. After winning several rallies in France in the late 1960s with iron-cast R8 Gordini engines the car was fitted with the aluminium-block Renault 16 TS engine. With two dual-chamber Weber 45 carburettors the TS engine delivered 125 hp
The car reached international fame during the 1970-1972 seasons when it participated in the newly created International Championship for Manufacturers, winning several events around Europe and being considered one of the strongest rally cars of its time. Notable performances from the car included victory on the 1971 Monte Carlo Rally with Swedish driver Ove Andersson.

First the first car launched by Alpine under the Renault name., following the Renault takeover.
Effectively an update of the previous A310 model with a new body shape, with body-integrated bumpers and a triangular C pillar with large rear windshield.
Powered by the Renault PRV V6 engine in a rear-engined layout, with extensive use of Polyester plastics and fibreglass for the body panels making it considerably lighter and quicker than rivals such as the Porsche 944. It was one of the most aerodynamic cars of its time,
The PRV engine in the naturally aspirated model was identical to the version used in the Renault 25, a 2849 cc unit producing 160 hp
