After much deliberation, I concluded that this is the answer to all my problems. Does anyone have a nice(r) pair of bumpers?
-
...fuck it. I've bought it. I'm very excited.

That would be fabulous, Ian. It's annoying that I can't un-see the ridiculous TV On The Radio 1980s fantasy unit. Google has dredged up Yoko models for sale in Russia and Germany... https://www.ebay.de/itm/Yoko-CCTV-1-in-dash-TV/393112382944 ...the latter being very tempting indeed. The white noise displayed on its screen is exactly what I'm taking about. Modern.

That Blaupunkt equaliser binnacle is quite a thing – and here's one in real life... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Blaupunkt-BEQ-S-Equalizer-Gooseneck-Rare-Vintage-70s-Car-Radio-Equaliser/124328280429 ...but when did soiled 80s car radio tat suddenly become so expensive?

Just stumbled across this... https://www.autoweek.com/car-life/but-wait-theres-more/a1912791/must-have-accessory-well-equipped-1980s-driver-2-screen-dash-tv/

More power to your elbow! Here it is being excavated in 2016…

Good answer! The function of the radio is of minimal importance. Though I like both in isolation, I rarely feel the urge to enjoy cars and radios simultaneously.

There’s a hole under my left elbow in my Citroën GSA and filling it presents an opportunity. Unfortunately, while I like cars and radios to an “inappropriate” degree, car radios aren’t on my nerd spectrum. I am therefore lighting the nerd assistance alert beacon. The interior is two-tone brown-on-brown, with embellishments in brown. Being a GSA, it can swing freely between 70s kitsch and 80s spank. Below is some pornography to set the scene. Ideally, of course, it needs a tiny CRT display linked to a ZX Spectrum with a speech synthesis cartridge and Death Star exhaust port targeting capability. Suggestions will be most welcome.

...just this highly glamorous photograph from Paul.

Fucking well done for liberating the Rover. More power to your elbow. Yes: the battleship grey Favorit is in my permanent collection. My friend Paul Johns disentombed it from the Garage That Time Forgot. We gave it an autistic mechanical going-over and used it for the Autumn Sun Run in France in 2018. I’m pondering a good-quality respray and general tidying-up. It’s not my usual style, but I feel it deserves it – and it’d look fabulous in shiny battleship grey.

To save fucking around now this bumping exercise is obsolete: Left to right – Rodacar, ZAZ Tavria, Moskvich Aleko, Tarpan 233S, Skoda 105, IZh 2125, Żuk
-
SOLD! Thanks to everyone who expressed an interest... I'll tell Scott who you are in case the Ami gets regurgitated.
-
...so while Scott mulls this over, here's a 'can you guess all seven non-Citroëns in the photograph' procrastination exercise. Hint: they're all East European or Russian.
-
Yes... it's an IZh 2125, as this man is explaining: I'll go and poke at the Ami later today.
