If your asking about the spares back-up for Opel Manta's then sadly not as good as MG's (but then few classics are as well covered )

Parts are 'out there' but may take some searching for, like most classics mechanicals are easiest to sorce, panels can be hard to find and sometimes expensive and trim can be very hard to come by, but this is true of most 'rarer' classics.

Manta's, particulary A series are better served for in Germany, where they sold most of them, though these days it's not hard to buy items from another country, members of our club, the Opel Manta OC, regulary organise the group buying of panels etc from Europe.
