Saw One of These Today...

[Iwasgoodonce]

An Opel GT. I don't recall having seen one before. A most well proportioned little car. A bit like a cross between a Triumph GT6 (MKI or II) and a certain TVR.

What engine was in these?

Oh I love these

Nicknamed 'Baby Corvette' iirc. . .

From wikipedia

The Opel GT was equipped with a base 1.1 L OHV straight-4 engine, which produced 67 hp (SAE) at 6000 rpm. However, most buyers chose an optional 1.9 L Cam-In-Head (CIH) engine, which produced 102 hp (SAE) at 5200 to 5400 rpm. Some of the early 1968 models also came with a slightly higher compression "H" code cylinder head. In 1971, due to emissions regulations, Opel reduced the compression ratio of the U.S.1.9 L engine and output fell to 83 hp (SAE). There was also a GT/J model, which was a less expensive version of the 1900GT sold only in Europe. Standard transmission was a manual 4-speed. A three-speed automatic was available with the 1.9 L engine. The model run of the Opel GT was from 1968 to 1973.

Big Opel/Vauxhall fan . .

Had a Mk1 Cavalier, 2 x Monza GSE's, 2 x 12V Carlton GSI's, a 24V Senator and a couple of Mk1 Astras (1 was a GTE), a V6 Cavalier and some Mk3 Astras . .
