Manta GTEs come as coupes or the shorter hatchback ones.
My uncle had a white coupe, was a special edition. Had some small coloured graphics on the doors, could of been a champion but I'm not sure exactly.

mantas are ace.
i fancy a viva firenza or chevette.
a viva went for a ton on ebay last week.
look at valvers.com in project diary.
two manta projects in there that might interest you.
stage rally with XE and carbs or bodies, and a spaceframe LS1 powered monster, both in progress.
