I think over the years I've been guilty of pretty much all of these!

Who remembers the "Revenger"? I've still got mine and it still works!

I had a 'Richard Grant Trans-AM' front spoiler on my 100a. It was awesome.
Made my car as cool as this one:

Tony ^^ that's awesome. What function did it have as I am too young to remember? :)

Well, the buttons kinda give it away.... think of three vaguely zappy electronic 1990 Dr Who style sounds effects and you'll be spot on!

Sadly I can't post sound files!

I've still got a nodding dog and a nodding cat on the parcel shelf of my punto, remember them from the 60's so when I found some I just had to buy them, they've been with me years passed down from car to car.
Where am I gonna put them in the Z when it finally hits the road?:confused:

Not seen any of these in a while - seemed like a mini-fad:

Wondered if it was still possible to get the rear window louvers that were available for Z's as an after market add-on?

Anyone still got one?

Air horns that played La Cucaracha, had them on my Hillman Avenger in the late 70s. :coolgleam:
Or Colonel Bogie - that was the other option as I remember.
Also those long-extended flick switches for your dashboard. You pushed them over the existing switches and they stood about about four inches from the dash. My brother worked the spotlights with them on his Singer Chamois (Hillman Imp lookalike).

Got any pictures Sean of what it looks like. What's the visibility like out the back with it fitted??
