Opel Commodore SIX Long term ownership, only two owners from new! 1970
General description :
This is really quite a special find. We rarely have come across such an original Opel Commodore A. On. the 27th May 1970 this new car was bought by the then director of the Enschede hospital. He sold it. some 21 years later to its second and most recent owner, who also looked after the car in perfect. fashion. Funnily enough the Commodore hasn’t been driven to any great extent over the last 50 years. The odometer only reads 123,118 km. The Opel Commodore was considered to a luxury car in its day. Our car is the 2-door sedan version in a brilliant navy blue finish with vinyl roof covering. The. paintwork had been reapplied for cosmetic reasons in the past. The bodywork is very authentic. The. nice and thin panelwork has correct alignment. In the 70’s Opel were renowned for their propensity to. rust. Due the extremely good care and attention as well as this large Opel’s use only in clement. weather, this example has no rust whatsoever. The car has always been garaged and wonderfully well. maintained. Open the door and peek inside to admire the extremely authentic condition inside the. cabin. The black carpets and black vinyl upholstery are still in fine shape. The dashboard has wooden. inlay and clear counters with the 3-spoke steering wheel as the icing on the cake. The Opel Commodore. has a single Zenith carburettor straight-six 2.5 litre engine. The engine is coupled to a 3-speed. automatic transmission. Opel discontinued the use of the 2-speed Powerglide in 1969 in favour of the. modern 3-speed automatic system. This automatic gives the car a fine sedate drive. The engine starts. on the button and is nice and quite. As is de rigour with a luxury vehicle the engine is place lengthwise. and drives the rear wheels. The car has refined driving characteristics and is remarkably quite for its. age. The car comes with its original service book and owner’s manual. The Opel Commodore is really a. very rare sight these days and especially in this condition absolutely nowhere to found.

About Opel
Ah, Opel! The German automaker with a history as rich as a Black Forest gateau. Let's take a leisurely drive through the annals of automotive history, shall we?Opel's story begins in the 19th century when Adam Opel started crafting sewing machines. Yes, you heard me right, sewing machines! But Adam had bigger dreams – he envisioned a future with horseless carriages, just like the crazy inventors of his time. And so, in 1899, Opel produced their first automobile, the Opel-Patent-Motorwagen System Lutzmann. Catchy name, isn't it?
Now, if we're talking classic Opel models, we can't skip over the Opel 4 PS, affectionately known as the "Doktorwagen." It was the car that put Opel on the map, a tiny two-seater that was as simple and sturdy as a Bavarian beer stein. But the real charm was its affordability. Doctors and professionals loved it, hence the name, and it became the people's car before Volkswagen even existed.
Fast forward to the 1930s, and Opel was cranking out the Olympia. It was sleek, streamlined, and had a small but efficient 1.3-liter engine. Think of it as the German answer to the Ford Model T – a car for the masses.
But if we want to talk about a truly remarkable classic, let's talk Kadett. The Opel Kadett was a workhorse. It soldiered on through the tumultuous years of World War II, and post-war, it was like Germany's own phoenix rising from the ashes. The Kadett helped Opel regain its footing in the automotive world.
Then came the '60s and '70s, and with them, the legendary Opel GT. Some say it was a baby Corvette in a tuxedo, and they weren't entirely wrong. With its unmistakable "Coke bottle" shape and pop-up headlights, the Opel GT was pure style. It wasn't the fastest, but it had more charisma than a disco-era John Travolta.
But what about performance, you ask? Well, Opel didn't disappoint. In the late '80s, they gave us the Opel Kadett GSi 16V. It was a pocket rocket, a hot hatch with a 150-horsepower 2.0-liter engine. It could go from zero to autobahn in no time.
And finally, we can't talk about Opel's classic models without mentioning the Manta. The Opel Manta was the epitome of '70s cool. It had those iconic wraparound bumpers, the sporty silhouette, and a catchy marketing slogan – "The car you always promised yourself." It was the car that whispered sweet nothings about freedom and open roads.
So there you have it, a brisk but exhilarating journey through Opel's history, with a handful of classic models that could make any car enthusiast's heart race. Opel may not be as flashy as some of its German counterparts, but it has a charm all its own, like a well-aged riesling in the world of automotive wines. Cheers to Opel!
