Commonwealth Games 86 Edinburgh

[UmBongo]

Do any 'och aye the noo' shiters remember the car dealership in Meadowbank which closed and was replaced by a McDonalds, purveyor of health-tastic salads?

I think it was a Belmont dealership  and they sold Datsuns then Nissans.

Anyway, they came up with a Commonwealth Games 1986 special edition Sunny or Cherry.

It was special because it had stickers on it...

I just remember passing one parked outside and it looked incredibly naff even when new.

I think there was a Bluebird, too.

no but the games sparked the Talbot Samba Decathlon also sporting shite stickers

Wow, so more special editions were spawned, eh?

I wish I could find a picture of the Nissan ones.

Remember visiting Meadowbank Stadium in 86 and the 'Commonwealth Games' special I recall was the Micra in Silver and black with all the stickers.
