Description

Estimated Price: £8,000 - £10,000

  • The Monza GSE was the ultimate, high-performance variant of Opel's flagship three-door grand touring coupé. Originally introduced to replace the Vauxhall Royale Coupe in the UK market, the GSE became a true 1980s automotive icon, praised for its advanced tech, sporty styling, and aggressive, chrome-free Motorway-storming presence
  • Powered by a 3.0-litre inline-6 with Bosch fuel injection offering 180 bhp, 0-60 in 8.5 seconds and 135mph
  • Opel discontinued the Monza in early 1987 without a direct coupé successor, though its spiritual mantle of high-performance engineering was later carried forward by the legendary Lotus Carlton saloon. Today, the Monza GSE remains a highly sought-after and deeply respected classic among enthusiasts
  • First registered on 15th June 1984, this example retains much of its period specification, including, Recaro seating front and rear, a functioning digital dashboard, lattice-pattern GSE alloy wheels, rear parcel shelf, and a tilt-and-slide sunroof together with its factory-fitted engine, gearbox and interior 
  • Indicating 47,961 miles at the time of cataloguing, supported by accompanying MOT history. Fitted with four Pirelli tyres, a bespoke stainless-steel exhaust installed in 2023 and a retro-style Blaupunkt unit with Bluetooth connectivity. A fresh MOT will be obtained before the sale
  • Retained by its first known private owner from September 1984 until March 2010, subsequently joining the Jim Boland Collection in Ireland. Purchased by our vendor in June 2019, with three former registered keepers recorded
  • Enjoyed for continental touring during current ownership, including trips to Le Mans and Spa since 2020
  • If ever there was a 'sleeper' in the classic car world, then this striking Opel Coupé could be it.
