Not an Atom Ryan. Must have been 20 vehicles of the same make, various models which I will splatter the odd thread with including POTD.

What's that stuff on the seats to give it a touch of luxury...could in be what is known as "Velour" :?: Not often you get the chance to have a nose around an Opel Monza, and take a slightly out of focus picture :-D

I would encourage you to have a flick through this post from "PetrolBlog"
"This Opel Monza will make your mouth water"

Some nice red/pink Velour shots in this listing on Car and Classic referred to in the piece. The car sold for £3,000 back in 2021... https://www.carandclassic.com/auctions/ ... 0-e-b8Kxlg

Might as well give the Lotus Elan an outing, seeing it has been starring on the Open Toppage thread

Its not an interior, or a dashboard in its conventional interpretation, so perfect for the thread

in the Late 1970's Lancia came up with some bright upholstery. A brief dalliance over to the Lancia Gamma Consortium Forum on the back of the pair of Coupes spotted today, had this striking Blue one on show from a 1978 Gamma Berlina

That's quite a dash! I'm not yet sure if I really love it or not...

Is this dash and clocks just too normal for a Citroen GS :?: It does have the X added to the model.

Identical to the dash in mine. Mine was an 'S' reg.

Have to agree they are more normal but compensated for by the single spoke wheel! :-D

The best dash ever - by far... As you may have gathered, I love the GS, especially a yellow one :D

I know that car and its owner - and can vouch for it being as comfortable as it is eye catching. Doesn't hang around either.

If you're bringing up Lancia interiors though, you can't get all that much more bonkers than the Trevi.

Image

Which despite looking absolutely bonkers from any other angle, from the driver's seat actually *works* really well I have to admit.

Image

Lovely car to drive as well. Their famous twin cam engine, suspension which is supple enough to give a properly comfortable ride yet with some serious ability to cling to the road and change direction at speeds you really wouldn't expect to look at it. Shame they're basically extinct.

I thought they were buttons to press and was thinking how does sausage fingers push them. Then I realized there just lights....looks like a bowling ball was on the design desk.
