This page gathers the Opel vans the register could not assign to a named range: the Arena, the Blits, the F302Z and a panel van built on the Rekord-C. Opel is based in Rüsselsheim, Hesse; the types listed here range from van and flatbed bodies on passenger-car platforms to standalone light commercial vehicles.

The register lists 4 versions here with a displacement of 1,970 cm³ from the four-cylinder engine, kerb weights from 1,070 to 3,180 kg, a length of 4,434 mm, widths from 1,750 to 2,000 mm and a height of 2,037 mm.

In their day these types covered light distribution and trade work, with body variants from the closed van to the open flatbed, competing on the European market with the Ford Transit and group siblings within the Stellantis group, such as Peugeot and Citroën. The alphanumeric type designations such as F302Z refer to internal factory development numbers, a practice used at Opel for decades, both on series-production vehicles and on conversions based on passenger-car models.

For a used example, check rust protection on sills, wheel arches and load floor, the condition of the clutch, brakes and suspension bushings, and the seal of the sliding doors and tailgate; parts for the older types are today mostly found through specialist dealers and parts markets for Opel classics.
