TESTER’S NOTES
N ews of more electric restomods. One very sensible, one sort of not.Last week, we drove the unsensible one, the Opel Manta GSe Elektromod, Opel’s own batteryelectric take on its 1970s coupé. How unsensible is it? Well, Opel has made the batteries small enough to leave enough boot space “for a fortnight’s holiday in Italy for four”, yet in doing so has made the batteries small enough that the Manta has a range of just 124 miles. Which isn’t ideal for a fortnight’s holiday in Italy for four, unless you start not too far away from Italy.
