Opel Kadett Coupé, 1965 by Vignale. Having failed to attract GM's European operations interest in a Spider, Vignale pivoted and had Alfredo Zanellato create coupé styling for the Turin Motor Show 8 months after Geneva. Still not interest from Opel

Opel Kadett C Coupé 12S GTE
The Kadett C sporting "Coupé GT/E" models appeared in August 1975, a year before the rival Volkswagen Golf GTI. The fuel injected performance coupé now provided a basis for competition cars. Advertising of the time featured an aggressive two-tone yellow and white paint scheme, although it was also possible to specify a conventional "everyday" body colour.The Kadett GT/E was available, at extra cost, with a five-speed manual transmission. 1975 was the first year that five-speed transmission became available, if only, at this stage, as an option on the top-of-the-range Kadetts. In 1977 five-speed transmission became a standard feature of the Kadett GT/E.After ten years during which an apparent inability to replace the Beetle appeared to threaten the very survival of the Wolfsburg empire, Volkswagen's Golf, introduced in 1974, and although initially slow to take off in the German car market, was now rapidly evolving into a winner, and for the Kadett C a rival at least as formidable as the Beetle, in it glory days, had been. At the performance end of the small family car sector the Kadett now found itself in a crude power struggle with the Golf GTI, launched in 1975 and energetically defining a new "hot-hatch" market segment. The Golf GTI was launched with 110 PS (81 kW; 108 hp) of power supported by "Bosch K-Jetronic" fuel-injection, a new generation fuel feed system from the specialist supplier that supplied both Opel and Volkswagen. Opel's response to the success of the Golf GTI was the Kadett GT/E, powered by the 1979 cc "20EH" (CIH) unit which had had the compression ratio raised and a resulting increase in maximum power to 115 PS (85 kW; 113 hp). The rear wheel suspension was enhanced through the integration of vertically mounted telescopic gas filled Bilstein shock-absorbers which enhanced road holding and provided a firm "sporting" quality to the ride.

GM Stir-Lec I, 1968. An early hybrid electric prototype based on an Opel Kadett (B) Coupé. It used 14 front mounted lead-acid batteries to drive a 3 phase electric induction motor that drove the rear wheels. The battery array was charged by a rear mounted Stirling external combustion engine.

What may look like an ordinary topless BMW 3 Series in fact is a true gem: a somehow Targa styled BMW Baur Topcabriolet TC2 based on the standard E30 BMW.
Since 1927 coachbuilder Baur, founded in 1910 in the Stuttgart district Berg, manufactured in small series convertibles based on Wanderer and Horch chassis. In the 1930s, Cabriolets were also built on a DKW and BMW basis. After World War II, production was continued in 1950 for DKW, later with complete vehicles of the Dyna-Veritas. This was followed by bodywork for the BMW 501/502. The complete production of the Maico 500 started in 1956. And in 1957 the Auto Union 1000 SP was built by Baur as well as the BMW 700 convertible and a little later the BMW 700 LS Coupé. Starting in 1967, the construction of convertibles based on BMW vehicles was continued with the BMW 1600-2 and the BMW 2002. From 1978, the so-called top convertibles based on the 3 Series were produced: from the TC1 (BMW E21) in 4,595 units to the TC2 (BMW E30) like this one here with 10,867 vehicles. In between there was still time for the final production of the Bitter CD (395 copies), the Opel Kadett Aero (1,341 pieces) and the BMW M1 (399 pieces). Last of these Topcabriolets was the BMW 3 Series E36 TC4 with still 310 copies. This chapter lasted until the early 1990s, when BMW was already producing convertibles itself.
