1968 concept drawing for Datsun Sunny coupe. Pre 120Y production which didn't start till 73 and had an older style.  Hints of late 70s Sunny and Violet coupes, maybe even 80s Sylvias.

And making the ad picture huge is fooling no-one.

I spent my teenage years as one of four lads in various Capris, for a while three of four of us had Capris and the other had a mk2 Escort. They may not have been massive but all of us were at least 5’11” and one was 6’2” and we fitted in ok.

In the 80s a friend had a deathtrap of a 70s Mini which had a one-piece lift-off Fibresports front end (no hinges at all). A rather exposed caravan socket was used for the front end wiring which caused all sorts of problems when driving in heavy rain.

Dunlop? WTF? Fascinating Rostyle fact number 33.

This is a new one to me. I thought they were all just 'Ford Rostyles'. Made by Ford or maybe by Rubery Owen. In two styles, the 1600E type and this 'wide slot' style used around 1971 on Capris and early Cortina Mk3 GTs.

Did Dunlop make these for MG and Rootes group and Vauxhall too? What about the Landcrab Wolseley thing? Who knows.

[busmansholiday]

Rostyle were available for any make of car. My Hunter had them, my MG's does still.

[JeeExEll]

Aye, I didn't know Dunlop made them though.

Zat bit? We put it so close to ze wing it'll 'ave to come off to change it. And the wiring? She bears no resemblance to anything you've seen before. And you will need ze special tools to do almost anything. Now let me put ze spare wheel on top and get the lid shut.

back window looks very much like Volvo 740 saloon

Reminds me a bit of these early 80s Celicas. I don't know why that ESV is so short.

Interesting split level headlamp glass idea.

Make that rustling scratchy nylon noise with your arms and ladies will think you're a rally driver. They will most likely want to sleep with you because of your new jacket. Only £8.50. Buy one now or be a loser.

Or they might think you're the driver of a heating-oil tanker. Or a sales rep.

[JimH]

But driving an oil tanker or being a sales representative are both secure jobs. I believe in these modern days of sending postal orders to receive goods by mail after waiting only 28 days that could make you quite a hit with the ladies

However, they might mistake you for the sort of man who hangs around woodland in the early hours of the morning hoping to see Sunbeam Lotuses being driven quickly and that isn't going to endear you to anyone who could be considered mimsy +ve. Even worse, they might think you were Tony Mason at which point you may as well go and join a monastery.

A driving lesson, hair cut and artificial eyes - that's one hell of a day out.
