Book excerpt: In the early-1960s Opel displayed a dramatically styled GT concept car at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Public reaction was positive and so it was put into production as the Opel GT in 1968. The initial model was based on the B-Series Opel Kadett and withdrawn after two years. The larger engined 1900GT was much better, but all cars left the factory with left-hand drive. However, it was never a big seller and was withdrawn from the market altogether in 1973. This is a book of contemporary road and comparison tests, new model introductions, development, buying second hand, technical and specification data, long-term tests. Covers the GT and GT/J.
