Original: Opel Manta B Mattig Breitbau „Bertis Manta“ and where it fits
The model shown in the photos is based on the tuned Opel Manta B Mattig Breitbau, often known as Bertis Manta from 1991. The base car is the Opel Manta B, Opel’s rear‑wheel‑drive coupé. That car is from the second generation of the Manta line, built from 1975 to 1988, which replaced the Opel Manta A. The pictured car is the version widened and heavily styled by the Bavarian tuner Mattig. Mattig (based in Bavaria, Germany) was founded in 1986 and became known for parts like wide‑body kits, front spoilers, side skirts and rear add‑ons. The film/scene car combines those body mods with a bold paint job and eye‑catching wheels, so the silhouette of the stock Opel Manta B turns into a show/street‑sport look.
Technical specs and history of the original
The Opel Manta B shares its underpinnings with the Ascona B and uses MacPherson struts up front and a live rear axle with longitudinal arms and a Panhard rod at the back. The engine lineup included four‑cylinder CIH units from 1.2 to 2.0 liters displacement (about 73 to 122 cubic inches). Depending on the version they made roughly 55 PS (for the 1.2) up to 115 PS (for the 2.0 GSi with catalytic converter) — that’s roughly ~54 hp to ~113 hp. Gearboxes were four‑ or five‑speed manuals, with an optional three‑stage automatic. Curb weight was usually between 980 and 1,100 kg (about 2,160 to 2,425 pounds); the sportier GT/E and GSi models managed 0–100 km/h (~0–62 mph) in around 9–10 seconds and top speeds just under 200 km/h (just under 124 mph). The Opel Manta B Mattig Breitbau used that series basis but added Mattig’s typical wide tires, modified bumpers, flared fenders and aero parts. For a sense of timing: the Manta B started in 1975 and wrapped up in 1988 — the tuning boom that inspired the Mattig look really hit full force later, and the car’s film appearance came in 1991 when tuning culture in Germany was already big.
The model in the collection of “ost-modell-sammler” and maker note
The mini you see here is a 1/43 scale model by BoS - Models and is part of collector “ost-modell-sammler”’s stash. IMPORTANT: this is a modified miniature; it does NOT represent the factory-stock release from BoS - Models. The model is made from mixed materials — mainly resin with added plastic/metal parts. You can clearly spot the signature traits of the Opel Manta B Mattig Breitbau: heavily widened fenders, a low front spoiler with small intakes and extended side skirts. The paint is two‑tone — the upper areas (roof, hood and A‑pillars) are yellow while the flanks and lower parts are a metallic turquoise. Magenta/pink accents appear on the front and rear spoilers, the side skirts and the wheel centers. There’s a “Mattig” decal suggested on the hood and a “Kenwood” sticker on the rear window — typical period touches that hint at aftermarket parts and car‑audio sponsorship. Headlights are clear, the taillights show printed segments. The 1/43 BoS - Models piece gives a good impression of the car’s look even though it doesn’t have functional openings.
Modifications, film link and visible details
The custom work by “ost-modell-sammler” mainly affects the paint and the little diorama display with figures and greenery. The base plate is speckled gray and the scene shows people hanging around — feels like a local tuning meet. The Opel Manta B Mattig Breitbau has pink‑painted wheel barrels with polished outer lips; you can’t confidently ID a specific wheel brand from the photos, so none is claimed. Other neat bits: slightly tinted rear window with print, spoiler lip at the back, black mirror housings, subtle door handles and a clean moulded bumper line. Inside you can see dark seats and a simple dash, fitting the late era of the Opel Manta B. The pop‑culture tie is obvious: the Opel Manta B Mattig Breitbau got a lot of fame from the movie Manta, Manta (1991). In that film the car is mainly driven by Bertie (played by Til Schweiger) and shows up in city scenes, rival run‑ins and race sequences. Side characters like Uschi (played by Tina Ruland) round out the setting. The film turned the car into a symbol of early‑’90s tuning culture. For collectors: this exact miniature is a customized version — it represents an individually adapted interpretation of the Opel Manta B Mattig Breitbau, not the factory-issued miniature from BoS - Models. That makes it a cool variant for collections focused on film cars, tuned rides, or German coupés from the ’70s and ’80s.
