Opel produced three generations of Ascona between 1970 and 1988, when this sedan gave way to the Vectra. Here we have a first-gen 80 hp 1.6-litre 2-door Ascona, launched at the very end of 1970, just after the Manta coupe which shared the same platform. The Ascona was also available in four-door sedan and three-door station wagon.
