I've always had a soft spot for the Taunus. I used to see them a lot on holiday when I was a kid so they have a sort of nostalgic vibe for me, as well as some of the odd Opels from the late 50s and 60s which were also about in Greek Isles and so on in the 80s.

I never knew about the Taunus until I started this forum. 15m has an element of the Opel Rekord C (I think) Coupe to it. Just checked and it looks like they were contemporary.
Aldo didn't realise until I opened this a couple of days ago that the RS wasn't always the sporty version.

One of my uncles had a Taunus TC coupe in the early ‘80’s. First time I got to ride in a left hand drive car and it seemed way cooler than my various mark 3 Cortinas we had in the family at that time - my dads 1.3L 2-door, my grandfathers bright yellow with black roof two liter GXL and another uncles 2000E.
