      Indeed. But try to find a good MK1. And then try to find a good GTI. They are incredible rare theses days. Lots of them went to the scrap and the engines and many party were exported to south africa. They build the MK1 for years after Wolfsburg went on to more modern versions. But the south african version had only 90PS and of course they had some power hungry car aficionados around.

    Brazil produced a car called Opala Diplomata by Chevrolet (Opel), from 1968 'til 1992. There was some versions... the Diplomata, the SS, the SL, there was a coupé, the sedan... very similar to the Opel Diplomat. And they sold by the thousands here. It was my first car, an Opala SL 1989 burgundy. You can find thousands of videos of Opalas here in the UA-cam... we like to tune them for drag racing...

    The Bitter CD was in fact developed as a coupe version of the Opel Diplomat, made by Bitter. It was shown to the world as "Coupé Diplomat"in 1969. The car hit the market in 1973 named "Bitter Diplomat CD" but the name "Diplomat" was dropped as many customers wished for that. For them the Opel brand and the model name Diplomat was way too plebian. The Bitter was a VERY expensive car costing around 60000 DM. For that kind of money you could get a Porsche 911 in the most expensive trim level. Or a Mercedes-Benz 300 SEL 6.3 and an additional VW Beatle on top. Because Opel canceled the Diplomat in 77 the Bitter was not that long in construction. Only 395 were made. You could call the car the german DeTomaso Pantera. It was based one mass model (around 21000 Diplomats were made) with very reliable technic under the hood, but aimed for the sporty luxury market.
