I was going to say an XR3i but seeing the Manta jogged the memory and that was indeed it for me too. Sadly, you don't see them any longer because they were made of something that dissolved if it came into contact with water. Sound familiar...?

Cavalier GSi 2000. They were amazing looking in their day. Local taxi firm had two and both eventually had various TSW alloys when all that was the craze. Sapphire Cosworth was my ultimate dream car. Strange but i never ended up buying either.
