Most things consumer goods related, sadly did turn to plastic around 1981.
That included front and rear bumpers fitted to motor cars.

Anyone remember the cost of replacing a Ford Sierra colour coded one back then?
A bit pricier than that of it's predecessors, I can tell.
It was rare you would ever need a new one for a Cortina, Escort or Granada.

That's very true and, of course, I wasn't commenting on design sophistication in terms of plastic parts, I was only referring to aesthetics.

The Eumig 800's are nicely built, but a little...utilitarian aesthetically!

Mine is usually operating with one or two Elmo STs and those have a fairly sculpted look.

Then again, it's as if the boys in Vienna had a meeting:

"We need to design the external case for the 800 series."

"OK...what does the shipping box look like?"

-but as they say (-in another context entirely) "They all look the same in the dark."!

All I ask is a wide screen and a projector to light her by...
