[Father Ted]

Shell suited driver?

[25v6turbo]

Oh no thanks,i,am not in the shoot,thank god,just the car!

[Albert Ross]

CD's or Tapes whichever suits the ICE you have, such as the then current "Now that's what I call shite", plenty of Kylie albums, A Neighbours calendar, a decent late 80's SLR Camera like a Minolta X-700 or summat like, that kind of stuff. A newspaper from the Berlin wall falling? Maybe? Was that 1989? Or 91?

CD's or Tapes whichever suits the ICE you have,

20 years since this was released

 

How about an iconic flyer? Mind you, I don't imagine too many people arrived in a 25 Turbo

[Hertz]

Got to be the old cube, wispa bars are back as well!

 

[retrogeezer]

Rubik Cube is much earlier 80's than that - would suit a car from 83/84.How about a filofax?? Given it would have been a 'company car' type choice at the time.

[shite_meister]

Nintendo GameBoy with Tetris.

[Owain-328i]

a decent late 80's SLR Camera like a Minolta X-700 or summat like

Nikon F4!

What about some of those little orangey-pink 'm.u.s.c.l.e. men' figures, they were all the rage in my school about this time. Just empty a little dustbin full of 'em into the passenger footwell.

Must have been after my time them... All I had was a 6 Million Dollar Man and an Eagle Eye Action Man....Shell suit, walkman, chest hair and medallion (which i still have), bottle of poppers, pint of snakebite, Whitesnake on the hi-fi and away we go.Of car period accessories - did people have those silly "lumionos" splat stickers then? and were those "wavey hands" that you could stick in the window still in? I have a "Maximiser" in th eloft for that "Big Red LED Look"....

[Guest]

Macintosh laptop?

 

Failing that, anything with a yellow acidman stuck to it.

[VWPowered]

old copy of razzle/fiesta/escort??...

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Some good suggestions here. What about a Commodore 64, some McCain Micro Chips and a Soda Stream? Actually a Soda Stream is probably a bit too old.

[trigger]

What about a can of Old Spice on the seat as well as a beaded seat cover.

[andrew e]

A samsonite briefcase in black with red trim, and a period FT, possibly a Littlechef map.

[MrRegieRitmo]

Any popular late 80s, early 90s car stickers? Happy Eater, Mr Wimpy, Mobil petrol, Kiss FM? One of those rude doll things in the yellow top & red trousers that drops his trousers & bares his bum!

[Guest]

Check your loft to see if you have any Gateway carrier bags.AA road atlas from the period?Maybe a leaflet promoting Granada Lodge :)Garfield in the rear window, but perhaps not the image you're trying to recreate

[Father Ted]

A 10 unit green BT phone card stuck out of the fag tray?

More obscure still, a £2 Bronze deep notch Mercurycard....

 

I'll get me coat...

[pompei]

Deffo beaded seat cover, and an in car phone if you can get one Was much amused by the thread on this a few weeks ago.

[MrRegieRitmo]

If you've got a little tray or inlet, scatter some giant old skool 5 & 50 pence pieces in there!

[Richard]

Definitely a jacket on a coathanger, preferably a shitty Top Man one if you can get it.

[Guest]

Last year, I went to the local car show on the way back from work and left my brown suit jacket hanging on the hook in the rear.Somebody thought it was a fun joke that had been left there deliberately. I was wearing the matching trousers at the time though.

[25v6turbo]

Brilliant ideas,fantastic,i don,t know were to start,already got the original NEC carphoneI think we have decided on making it look like when newSo filofax,phonecard,period map book etc are all great ideas,going to get as much as possible.Where brick mobile phones still around??i fancy one of them in the car on display,anyone got one??complete with instuctions....

[Jazzy Jeff]

My Papa was still on the road in his Belmont SRI at this time. And had a massive Phillips brick phone.

[MrRegieRitmo]

Some light grey loafers placed on the parcel shelf??

[Father Ted]

I have a funky blue Vodafone Zap! pager that is of the era somewhere....

[Guest]

Well heres your phonecard... Bargain! At that price I might have one myself.

For the period, this is the onee you want - I can probably dig you some out too. Silver lettering, footnotes and the notch.

 

Or, for the really obscure:-

[Pillock]

Definately a pager. I had one of those up till 1997 Actually it was my mums, when I went to uni it was before mobile phones were affordable/available to all so we just had the payphone in halls. She gave me her old work pager so if she needed me, she paged me and I rang her back
