Opel Rekord '68 Sprint, 4-door Sedan
Opel Rekord '68 Sprint, 4-door Sedan
Hallo Leute!
Welcome!
I'm sorry, but I'm going to write in english, because my German is very bad unfortunately :/
Me and my friend, have recently buyed Opel Rekord from 1968, in Sprint version. As far as I know it is very rare 4-door version. I'm looking for any infos about this model, manuals and parts .
We are also looking for some photos of this specified model , because it is hard to find ANY on the internet.
Also we are very curious, what is missing / is not original in our car - maybe somebody could give us advice on this subject
Bitte, schreiben Sie auch in Deutsch, ich kenne ein bisschen diese Sprache
Vielen Dank fur Deine Antworte
Thank You for all Your replies

Hi and welcome
Interessting Car, could you make a better picture of the engine?!
The Sprint Engine should have 2 double Carburetors, Engine Number starts with 19H
You can get some Sprint specific informations from Vlads Site:
http://www.graf-vlad.de/inhalt/alte_kis ... coupe.html
Your Grill is from a Opel Commodore A and instead of the "1900" there has to be the "Sprint" lettering on your trunk.
Here is another site, where you can download a Article from Graf Vlad about the Sprint with many pictures
http://www.alt-opel.eu/index.php?sn=clubzeitung06
If it's really a 4 Door Sprint, it would worth it to bring it back on the street

Thanks for the info about the grill.
The engine is unfortunately not original according to previous owner ;/ We didn't check the numbers on it yet.
When we are going to check it, I'll write here as soon as possible.
I hope it's a 4-door sprint, as far as i know it is quite rare nowadays
EDIT; another thing! I have papers from year 1990 - it says that in this car is an engine numbered; 19HL0004496
I'm from Poland From our polish perspective, Rekord needs some help, and it will fly again It sure is dead nowReverend Garrett hat geschrieben:where are you from? from a german perspective it seems that your new car already passed away...

After stripping the paint in some places we got to this, that the car used to be silver probably at the beggining. On the back, we found the black paint <as in Sprint>. No stripes on the car thoug - could anybody write if the stripes were painted, or these were some kind of stickers <I'm talking about the two black Sprint stripes going through the whole car>
