Krunching Gears - The Rally Podcast. Season 3 Episode 8. Manta Magic

In this episode of Krunching Gears - The Rally Podcast, we roll back the years. To me, the car that captured Irish Rallying in the 1980s was the Opel Manta 400. 
In this episode, we rewind the clock to 1988. We attended the launch of a very special Manta, Vincent Bonner's Donegal Oil-sponsored Manta. Donagh Kelly is building an extraordinary collection of cars in his Stables Motorsport Museum, the  1988 Donegal Bonner Manta fits into the collection perfectly. We talked with Vincent and his co-driver Rory Kennedy who took the car to 4th overall in Donegal in 1988. Paul Murphy, along with Norman Burns assisted by his two sons Jordan and Darrell, were the team who created this masterpiece. Donagh also explains why it had to be this car!
