The Bitter SC is an exclusive German grand tourer built in the 1980s by the Bitter company, founded by former racing driver Erich Bitter. The model combines elegant coupé styling with reliable Opel engineering, resulting in a comfortable and characterful GT with sporty performance.

What makes this example particularly special is the presence of a manual gearbox, a configuration that is considerably rarer than the automatic versions in which most Bitter SC models were delivered.

This car was first registered on 20/05/1987 and was professionally restored in the past. The car presents well in the official Nero Carbonio 901 colour, combined with a red interior, creating a very stylish black-on-red configuration.
