No relation to Opel, no.
Think Metalshapes got it right when he said the wheels were from a Fiat (and Ferrari!) Dino.

No relation to Opel, no.
Think Metalshapes got it right when he said the wheels were from a Fiat (and Ferrari!) Dino.

That would make them 14" Cromodora's with ( I believe ) a bolt pattern of 5 X 4.25" ( 108mm )
If its not Dino based, what British car had that bolt pattern?

Aka Marina Condor
Roy Haynes styled this as the sports version of the Marina. A British car designed to fight the likes of the Toyota Celica - this car went under the name "Condor" and was known internally as the ADO68/28. Because the floorpan was simple, it was also very adaptable - and Haynes envisaged MG and Jaguar versions of this coupé being devised, many different versions being mocked-up before the whole project was stopped.
