OPEL OLYMPIA (1967-70)

2-door fastback saloon, 4-door fastback saloon, estate car, 4-seater coupè.

Upmarket Kadett with a different grille and the 60bhp twin-carb engine; 1700 and 1900 versions not UK-available. Usual rust problem with cheap unitaries . Semantics confusing, too, as the Rekord used to be called Olympia Rekord. Fastback body also found on regular Kadetts.
