| The Manta B L , # 301839 and GTE , # 301849 were the last Opel models and one of the last of the 800 series , as Schuco put an end on this series in 1975 , the year of launch of the Manta B . Curiously Schuco used the same reference for the Manta A and B . Rei in Brasil made this model with # 301839 for Manta L and # SH 1849 for the Manta GTE . The Manta B , was an excellent model as usual for 800 series . Excellent casting with opening doors . Metal base including bumpers headlamps , rear lights and number plate . Technical data of the real car engraved on the base . Clear glazing , plastic interior and plastic wheels with chromed hub caps . Difference between the two references was the painted roof on the GTE . In my collection I have one of each model and I can't give much more information than show my models . The first models were both Rei , # 121 , bought in 2004 , an almost mint , unboxed blue with red interior L type , reference # 301839 and later # 277 , bought in 2007 , the car on the right , an yellow with black roof and red interior , mint and boxed , GTE reference # SH1849 . Schuco models , # 313 , was bought in 2007 , an yellow with black roof and red interior , mint and boxed , GTE reference # 301 849 . Differences between Schuco and Rei Manta B GTE are the color , brighter yellow and black base for the Schuco model . The last model is # 384 , bought in 2009 , a mint , boxed dark orange with red interior L type , reference # 301839 . |

The first time I've heard about Schuco's Junior Line , was back
in 2003 , but I'm not 100% sure . Schuco cardboard on standard
Yatming 1/76 models . Opel models were the
orange Speedster , the silver Vectra C GTS and the yellow
prototype GTC . After these three Opel models nothing new until now . |
