The Human League for the brilliant Martin Rushent production 🎚
or
ABC for the excellent Trevor Horn production 🎚️

Renault 17 - 1971-79

I can't think of an earlier example of windows behind the side louvres, than the Renault 17 🤔

This is where we need the hive mind of #WeirdCarBS & #CarBluesky 😀

YouTube video by Lee Bullen ROD TEMPERTON MUSIC DOCUMENTARY | THE INVISIBLE MAN (NEW EDIT)

Indeed - gotta keep spreading the word on the invisible man responsible for so many hits 😀

www.youtube.com/watch?v=mf_L...

Indeed, but I don't think the Mustang fastback had windows behind the louvres, iirc? 🤔

#CarBluesky #WeirdCarBS 👍

Influenced by the Renault 17's rearmost side window louvres, which had been around since 1971? 🤔

This version's great too 👍

Lancia Y10 Turbo - CAR magazine 1986 #OldCarGBU verdict: Boring👎 For: Styling, zest Against: Behaves like a bad-tempered terrier Sum-up: Needs house training

Ooops, this #OldCarGBU verdict is indeed meant to be for the Lancia Y10 Turbo, but I forgot the Turbo in the name, hence the photo is incorrect too... 😳

Here's a Y10 Turbo - apologies 👍

For: Superlative chassis, handling, ride, smooth engines, luxurious interior
Against: Styling not as characterful, odd shaped boot

N.b in Group 20, Mica Paris sang about her one temptation - I don't think it was the boy band, as they weren't born until the 90s 😉

The Clash for the Bob Clearmountain single mix 🎚
or
Altered Images for the Martin Rushent production, especially here on the 12" single 🎚️
🤔

Altered Images 👍

A single from Simple Minds' best album, loses to a cover version ☹️

Dad's Vitesse looked just like this - Y-reg in launch spec Moonraker Blue. Happy memories ❤️
