 BITTER CD 1973-1979
This beautiful coupe was built on an Opel Diplomat floorplan shortened by 10 cms and stiffened. The mechanical components came from the same car which adopted GM America's small block V8 of 5354 cc. 395 were built, all with left hand drive and automatic transmission.
The body fabrication, the construction of the interior and the assembly of these coupes was carried out to extremely high standards by Baur of Stuttgart. The high level of build quality is responsible for the large numbers still on the road.
The performance figures are 0-62 mph in 9.6 secs with a top speed of 130 mph. Bhp is 230 and overall consumption is 16 mpg. Values in condition 1 and 2 are around £6,000 to £13,000.
