Swiss built 1971 Opel Commodore 'A' series GS/E Coupe comes out after engine rebuild
Swiss built, 1971 Opel Commodore A series GS/E Coupe comes out after a full engine rebuild having been off the road during most of 2013. All journals reground, full set of shells, bores honed, new piston ring fitted, brand new cam(thank you Piper Cams(www.pipercams.co.uk/pipercams/www/index.php) for cutting from scratch using CIH 12v cam blank which they still hold!) and new hydraulic tappets, a complete set of new gaskets and engine repaint in original factory grey. A big shout goes out to Terry Potter for the excellent paint(www.precision-mc-paintwork.co.uk/) and T&L engineering of Elstow in Bedford(www.vintage-engine.net/) for all their help, in particular to Barry, who's advice and he...

    Used to own a Commodore A GS/E back in the day... Absolutely love the Opel straight 6. I'm not sure if you are right on the number of Commodore A GS/E's remaining though (or were you referring to the Swiss built ones?) . Here in Norway I know of 3 or 4 that are road worthy and running. My old one still exists, but it isn't currently on the road. If it was, it would take the number of cars in Norway up to 4 or 5. Mine was in the same Cardinal red (508?) as yours. Beauty!

    Very nice car, I have a version produced by GM/Chevrolet in Brazil, from 1969 to 1992, basically with the same lines, just a few changes throughout the years. They used a GM 250 cid inline 6 cylinder engine, and a GM 4 cylinder 151 cid, This car was called OPALA = Opel (body) + Impala (engine). Today It's a collectible item. Check my 1987 Diplomata model in my videos! 👍🏻

    Ich habe ab 1966 in einer kleinen Opel Werkstatt im Schwarzwald "Automechaniker" gelernt und meine ersten Gesellenjahre dort verbracht. Ich bin Heute noch dankbar dafür dass ich an diesen Autos arbeiten durfte! Ich habe auf verständliche Art und Weise das Produkt "Automobil" verstehen und kennengelernt.

    too much white smoke from the exhaust. Something needs to be fixed in the engine. Perhaps gasket issues, cracked head or warped cylinder may be the cause
