I do recall seeing that previously, I had to look one of his songs up as I couldn't recall his name. Never heard of him until I heard Mercy Street covered by Happy Rhodes. Peter Gabriel.

I've never heard of Happy Rhodes until now, is she Barry Gibb's alter-ego? :-D

Well done and 49 points Mick. If wiki is right the car belonged to Storm Thorgerson the graphic designer who was born in Potter's Bar!

<Cough> I think if you look back, the 49 points should go to Mr HellRazor :?

When I saw the Peter Gabriel album cover I started a Google search. Mind you, the car was ringing a tiny bell in my head, and then (when I knew what the car actually was) I remembered Car SOS.

She certainly has a tremendous range. I prefer her version.
She even has a musical genre named for one of her albums - Ecto.

Incidentally the grand-niece of Cecil Rhodes.

Three "questions" in so far Mick, and I'll give you a progress report, 0 out of 3 so far, so could be heading for my worst ever quiz performance on the FCF and its about my home town!

3 out of 8 Mick not that brilliant. Surprised at the 1972 shot of the Central Motorway prior to it being finished. Thought it was much more ancient than that :-D The opening credits of whatever happened to the likely lads I'm sure hav it in with the Manors multi story and other such monstrosities.

Bit of a car whatsthisthen? springing out of the pre-central motorway bit.....

This is as big as I can get it and not that clear, but I think that you have nailed it Gibbo...with the one minor observation in that if the C-Pillar has a Vinyl covering (which I dont think it does), the Sunbeam Rapier version of the fastback could come into contention.
