Der Bitter SC war das zweite Modell des deutschen Herstellers Bitter.Es löste den Bitter CD ab und basierte ebenfalls auf Großserientechnik von Opel. There, about three to four cars were produced weekly by the end of 1989 .The SC Coupe came in spring 1981 as the first version on the market and thus represented the volume model of the series dar. This 1984 Bitter SC is one of just 461 coupes built between 1979-1989 and is believed to have been sold new by a General Motors dealership in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia to a doctor in New Brunswick. Today's exotic car buyers are spoiled by luxury. The advantage of this technique was its reliability and easy availability.In terms of sportiness and exclusivity, she remained well behind the diplomat's eight-cylinder. The car has reportedly been driven approximately 135k miles and is powered by a factory Opel 3.0-liter inline-six paired to an automatic transmission. The car featured on these pages is owned by Michael Gabriel, who has more of a connection to his car than does the average classic car owner. After only 79 units, the contract was pulled from OCRA due to quality issues and given to a second Italian builder, Maggiore. Maximum Speed . With 461 manufactured copies, it was also the most common variant.In the spring of 1983, the series was supplemented by the SC Cabriolet. The production cars, which were manufactured from mid-1985, deviated in some details from this prototype. The prototype today belongs to a Dutch collector . The Bitter SC's appearance is very Eighties, with its angular, formal-roof lines. The Bitter SC was the second model of the German manufacturer Bitter . Unlike the CD of the new SC had no hatchback, but a saloon with a distinctive trapezoid line clear in the by Pininfarina -designed Ferrari 400 remembered and a similar elegance in appearance and in detail had. By this point, three to four cars a week were being built, and the SC could certainly be deemed a success. Although other German manufacturers would have been the first choice, the contract was eventually given to the Italian manufacturer OCRA. The Bitter SC is, to me, a very interesting car. Drive technology and roof height remained unchanged. The entire dash, the inside of the glovebox, and even the inside of the center console cubby are cloaked in cow.Both front seats adjust for height, tilt, and fore/aft. Erich Bitter therefore deviated to northern Italy, where for decades there were a large number of small, independent bodyworks, which made for other vehicle manufacturers either by hand or in small series superstructures. After the last CD had left the band at Baur at the end of 1979, Baur had found an alternative with the production of the BMW M1 , which was so exhausted that there was no capacity left to build the new Bitter. This time, we were lucky enough to find both in the same place. Originally, the Bitter and the Opel Senator it was based on used a 3.0-liter I-6, but with tougher emissions standards and competition from rivals, a larger engine was deemed necessary. What might seem strange are the manual-adjustment knobs and levers on a luxury car, no electric adjust here. I paid $8,000 for the car in 2001, and since then put more than $4000 into it. According to the common concept for small series manufacturers, the body was to be manufactured in an external factory before being transported to Bitter in Schwelm and assembled there with drive technology. All SCs were still delivered to Schwelm for final inspection and test drives, but no manufacturing was being done at the headquarters. Bitter's design was then revised by Opel designers Henry Haga and Georges Gallion. As with the Bitter CD, the production of the SC was largely outsourced. Like this, the Bitter SC had folding headlights. It featured a Bitter's second project, the SC, started in 1977 while the CD was still in production. Eventually, demand outgrew production capacity.By 1983, all Bitter's manufacturing was being handled by Steyr-Daimler-Puch in Graz, Austria. The vehicle was based on an extended chassis.The first prototype was created in 1984. After a year of struggling with lost power and melting parts under the hood, Bitter turned to Both the 3.0 and 3.9 liter engines use Bosch L-Jetronic electronic fuel injection. It replaced the Bitter CD and was also based on mass production technology from Opel.
