Junkman Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Also available in Stirling Moss. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RARE-COLLECTABLE-WOOD-STEERING-WHEEL-BY-LES-LESTON-AND-SIGNED-STIRLING-MOSS-/221353324902 It would look reasonably shite in a P6, no?

minolman Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Thanks for the air deflector linkage. However this is not what I was thinking. What I saw was like 10 times the size of this, in comparison. It was like a perspex cowling that went all the way down the height of the window and at least half way along it, like a sort of ducket [the thing on the side of guards vans on goods trains for the guard to look down the side of the train]. When I had my Morris Oxford and was in the appropriate car club quite a lot of members had them on their cars. I wish I could recall the name.

Junkman Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I remember those too, I've seen them predominately in France when I was a wee lad. They were like a clear bubble and the faces of the people in the car were grotesquely distorted when you looked at them through these things.

mat_the_cat Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 the faces of the people in the car were grotesquely distorted. Is that not just because they were French? Uncle Jimmy, Junkman, Grundig and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WANT. Years ago I had my Dads old car phone that he inexplicably took out of his Sterling, it was an NEC phone, I don't know where its gone since. I've always wanted one to fit into one of my Sterlings, preferably a working example. I saw one of these car phones a few years ago in a Granada I was driving. I think it was a Motorola as it had that distinctive distored *bleeeep* sound when you switched it on.

I have a load of old car mags, I know for cert. there's an advert for these, must dig it out. Will doubtless also hit the motherlode of shite accessories in the process aswell. minolman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brent_Crude Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Great thread. I am genuinely after some sheepskin seat covers for the Range Rover if anyone spots any, because, as any other drivers of 90's Rangies will know, the heated seats never bloody work and even when you go to the considerable faff of repairing them (as I did recently) they are tepid at best. If I can't get that 'pissed yourself' level of warmth, then wool is the next best thing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greengartside Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I think it was a Motorola as it had that distinctive distored *bleeeep* sound when you switched it on. Oh to have one of those now..... My dad still has (somewhere) a Motorola MicroTAC Duo. 1995 vintage, with reciept and everything. Alas no box. Strange thing is that it's still fully functional - obviously no SIM in it as it's not used but the little bugger still works perfect, complete with distorted bleeping noise!

scooters Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Tehran Taxis? What in the hell was the fad of these all about? Played hob with my piles they did. I had one of these in my 1984 Nissan Sunny! as well as a 'brogue' style shite vinyl steering wheel wrap! - the old 'golf ball arse' seat cover was actually pretty good at keeping the velour from sticking to your back when driving long distance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mercrocker Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 Wingard were a general accessories brand (mostly mirrors as the name might suggest, when these items lived on wings not doors). The Perspex doo-hickey to keep the draughts out were sold as Galemaster Weathershields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
