This is probably the rarest spot from Malta. Not my favourite, but the rarest! If I tell you the fact that this is the only one in Malta, you might understand how rare it actually is! Extremely rare! I wonder how many there are left in the UK?
Another cool fact is that he has owned it since new! Amazing! And at the exact same spot as the Hillman Hunter and another old English car i'll upload later!

Carmen Electra (1972) is an American glamour model and actress, who began her career as a singer. Prince produced her debut record. She later appeared on the television series Baywatch (1997-1998). She made her film debut in the horror comedy American Vampire (1997), and has had roles in multiple parody films. Electra featured several times as a model in Playboy magazine.
Carmen Electra was born Tara Leigh Patrick in 1972 in Sharonville, Ohio, near Cincinnati. Her parents were Harry Patrick, a guitarist and entertainer, and his wife Patricia, a singer. Electra attended Ann Weigel Elementary School and studied dance at Dance Artists studio in Western Hills until age nine, when she enrolled in the School for Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA), Cincinnati. Electra graduated from Princeton High School in Sharonville in 1990, having transferred there from SCPA two years prior. Additionally, Electra attended and graduated from Barbizon Modeling and Acting School in Cincinnati. Electra started her professional career in 1990 as a dancer at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, in the show It's Magic, one of the more popular shows in the park's history. In 1991, she got her first boost when a scout for Prince spotted the 18-years-old Electra fronting for a rap group in Los Angeles. Soon after, she signed a recording contract with Prince's Paisley Park Records. She had moderate success with a single named Go-Go Dancer and released a self-titled album for Prince's Paisley Park label in 1993. She also toured Europe as Prince's opening act on his 1992 Diamonds and Pearls Tour. Carmen returned to work for Prince at his Los Angeles nightclub Glam Slam. She performed there every weekend with the Erotic City dancers, led by choreographer and director Jamie King. During her time at Paisley Park Records, she officially became known as Carmen Electra. In 1995, after her short-lived singing career, Electra started appearing in television shows. In May 1996, she was featured in a nude pictorial in Playboy magazine, the first of several. This exposure led to higher profile television appearances, including as the host of MTV's dating game show Singled out (1997) and the role of lifeguard Lani McKenzie in Baywatch (1997–1998). Baywatch was a popular action series about the Los Angeles County lifeguards who patrol the beaches of Los Angeles County. In 2003, she returned to Baywatch for the reunion feature, Baywatch: Hawaiian Wedding (Jeremy Garelick, 2003) which was a box office hit. Carmen Electra was featured in Playboy four more times: June 1997, December 2000, April 2003, and the January 2009 anniversary issue. She was on the cover of the last three of these issues. In 1997, Electra made her film debut in the horror comedy American Vampire (Luis Esteban, 1997) with Adam West. Its plot follows a young male teenager (Trevor Lissauer) who encounters a sexy female vampire (Electra) while his parents vacation in Europe. The film has attained cult-like status with its tongue in cheek humour and its many references to the Beach Party films of Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. That year, she also appeared in the comedy Good Burger (Brian Robbins, 1997). In 1999, she appeared in the Bloodhound Gang's music video of The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope, and the mockumentary The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human (Jeff Abugov, 1999) with David Hyde Pierce and Lucy Liu.
In de new Millennium, Carmen Electra's film career got a boost with the horror comedy Scary Movie (Keenen Ivory Wayans, 2000), a parody of the horror, slasher, and mystery film genres. Despite a mixed critical reception, the film received positive reviews from audiences and was a box office success, grossing $278 million worldwide on a $19 million budget. It was followed by four sequels. In 2004, Electra appeared in the remake of the 1970s TV show Starsky & Hutch (Todd Phillips, 2004), with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson, for which she won an MTV Movie Award for Best Kiss. Subsequently she played supporting parts in such films as Cheaper by the Dozen 2 (Adam Shankman, 2005) with Steve Martin, Scary Movie 4 (David Zucker, 2006), and the box office success Date Movie (Aaron Seltzer 2006) with Alyson Hannigan. Electra won the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Supporting Actress for her combined performances in Date Movie and Scary Movie 4. Other films include Epic Movie (Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer, 2007), Meet the Spartans (Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer, 2008) and Disaster Movie (Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer, 2008) with Kim Kardashian in her film debut. Although some see these films among of the worst films ever, most of them did well at the box office. Meet the Spartans and Disaster Movie received in 2009 five nominations for the 29th Golden Raspberry Awards: Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off, or Sequel, and Worst Supporting Actress (Electra). Disaster Movie won a sixth for Kardashian. Electra also appeared in commercials for Maxim Men's Hair Color products (2004–2005), and Ritz Camera Centers (2006). She is featured in some video spoofs of lonelygirl15 that advertised Epic Movie. That same year she appeared as the face and spokesperson for Max Factor cosmetics in their television and print ads. In late 2006, Electra was featured in commercials by Taco Bell. In 2007, Electra became a published author with the release of her book, How to Be Sexy. Electra appeared as a guest judge on So You Think You Can Dance Season in 2011 and Britain's Got Talent in 2012. Carmen Electra was married to NBA star Dennis Rodman. She and Rodman wed in November 1998 at Little Chapel of the Flowers in Las Vegas, Nevada, but nine days later, Rodman filed for annulment, claiming he was of "unsound mind" when the pair wed. The couple reconciled and celebrated New Year's Eve together, but they mutually agreed to end their marriage in April 1999 under "amicable circumstances." In 2003, Electra married Dave Navarro, lead guitarist for the rock band Jane's Addiction. The couple documented their courtship and marriage in an MTV reality television show called 'Til Death Do Us Part: Carmen and Dave. In 2006, she and Navarro announced their separation, and the divorce was finalised in 2007. In 2012, she appeared as one of the celebrity bachelorettes on the TV dating show The Choice.

French France Gall (1947) rocketed to fame in the 1960's as a naive young singer performing songs written by Serge Gainsbourg. In 1965 she won the Eurovision Song Contest with his Poupée de cire, poupée de son. But, after meeting and marrying, French singer-songwriter Michel Berger, her career was completely turned around and she soon went on to make a name for herself as one of the top female artists on the French music scene.
Isabelle Geneviève Marie Anne Gall was born in 1947 in Paris. She grew up in a highly creative musical environment. Her father was lyricist Robert Gall, and her mother, singer Cécile Berthier, was the daughter of Paul Berthier, the organist of Auxerre Cathedral and co-founder of the famous French children's choir Petits Chanteurs à la Croix de Bois. Isabelle learnt to play the piano and the guitar at an early age. In her early teens Isabelle went on to form her own group with her brothers. In 1963, Robert Gall encouraged his daughter to record songs and send the demos to a musical publisher, Denis Bourgeois. She auditioned for Bourgeois at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris, and was subsequently signed to Philips. Bourgeois encouraged her to record four tracks with French jazz musician, arranger and composer Alain Goraguer. The first airplay of France's first single Ne sois pas si bête (Don't Be So Silly), occurred on her 16th birthday. It soon rocketed to the top of the French charts, selling a cool 200,000 copies. France Gall went on to make a major name for herself in the midst of the yé-yé craze (the fashionable 1960's sound which fused Anglo-Saxon rock'n'roll with French variété). The legendary singer/songwriter Serge Gainsbourg was asked by Bourgeois to write songs for Gall. Gainsbourg's N'écoute pas les idoles (Don't listen to the idols) became Gall's second single; it reached the top of the French charts in March 1964. At the same time, Gall made her live debut, opening for Sacha Distel in Belgium. She teamed up with Distel's business manager, Maurice Tézé, who was also a lyricist. This allowed her to create an original repertoire, unlike the majority of her yé-yé contemporaries who sang adaptations of Anglophone hits.
In addition to songs written by her father, France Gall's success in the 1960’s was built on songs written by big names among French composers and lyricists: Gérard Bourgeois, Jean-Pierre Bourtayre, Joe Dassin, and many others. Gall's songs often featured lyrics based on a stereotypical view of the teenage mind. Elaborate orchestrations by Alain Goraguer blended styles, permitting her to navigate between jazz, children's songs, and anything in between. Examples of this mixed-genre style included Jazz à gogo and Mes premières vraies vacances. Gall and Gainsbourg's association produced many popular singles, continuing through the summer of 1964 with the hit song Laisse tomber les filles (Forget the girls) followed by Christiansen. Having previously resisted, Gall gave in to her managers at the end of 1964 and recorded a single intended for children. The song Sacré Charlemagne was a hit in 1965, selling 2 million copies. Gall was then selected to represent Luxembourg for the 1965 Eurovision Song Contest. Out of the 10 songs proposed to her, she chose Gainsbourg's Poupée de cire, poupée de son. On 20 March 1965, Gainsbourg, Gall, and Goraguer attended the finals of the song contest in Naples, where the song was booed during rehearsals. Her performance was broadcast live to an audience of 150 million viewers and although Gall's delivery during the live show was not of the highest standard, she went on to triumph in style. Success at Eurovision ensured that Gall became even more known outside Europe and she recorded Poupée de cire, poupée de son in French, German, Italian and Japanese. There appears to be no English version released by France Gall herself, although there was an English cover by the English 60’s star Twinkle. Ironically, France Gall was not representing France, but Luxembourgat the Eurovision Song Contest. Some French critics reproached Gall and Gainsbourg for having won for Luxembourg and not for their own countr, but Poupée de cire, poupée de son went on to become a huge hit in France
In 1965 a tv film was distributed in the United States directed by Jean-Christophe Averty and dedicated to the songs of France Gall. She was then sought by Walt Disney to appear as Alice in a musical film version of Alice in Wonderland. Although Gall had insisted she did not want to become involved in film work, this was the only project which appealed to her, but the project was cancelled after Disney's death in 1966. Gall appeared in the television film Viva Morandi (1966), made in the same psychoanalytical mould as the Fellini film Giulietta degli Spiriti (1965, Federico Fellini). Gall played La Grâce alongside Christine Lebail who played La Pureté, both singing Les Sucettes in a segment which was prominently labelled ‘fantasy’, in a clear reference to the song's sexual undertones. She also appeared in the tv-film Le lapin de Noël (1967), based on a story by Roland Topor. Later she was approached by director Bernardo Bertolucci for the leading female role in Last Tango in Paris (1972), but she firmly rejected this offer. In 1993 Gall once again considered appearing on screen for a cinematographic collaboration with her best friend, the screenplay writer Telsche Boorman. Like the Disney film, this planned project was never completed due to the death of Boorman in 1996. Her songs were ften featured on film soundtracks, like Poupée de cire, poupée de son in Ba'al Ba'al Lev/Gotta Have Heart (1997, Eytan Fox) Teenie Weenie Boppie in A Soldier's Daughter Never Cries (1998, James Ivory) and Besoin d'amour in 40 mg d'amour par jour/40 mg of love each day (2005, Charles Meurisse)
In 1966, FranceGall was voted France's no. 1 female pop star. That year she went on to score another huge hit with Bébé Requin (Baby Pop), a song co-written by Gainsbourg and Joe Dassin. Later Gall described the lyrics as ‘brutal’, but the dark undertones are not easily perceived when one hears the song as sung by the then 18 year-old girl. However, the undertones in her next hit song were not so easily missed, and caused a scandal when it was released. Gainsbourg deliberately filled the song Les Sucettes (Lollipops) with double-meanings and strong sexual innuendo. On the surface, the lyrics tell the innocent tale of a girl named Annie who enjoys lollipops. However, it is clear that Gainsbourg intentionally created the theme as a metaphor for oral sex. Although a big hit, the song sat in stark contrast to genuinely innocent songs on the same album such as Je me marie en blanc (White Wedding) and Ça me fait rire (It makes me laugh). The public furore over Les Sucettes would throw Gall’s career off-track for years, and Gall was not left unscathed by the experience. She belatedly understood that she had been used: the song was deliberately conceived with the aim of attracting publicity. All her records which followed, even expunged of the Gainsbourg signature, would be suspiciously viewed as having crass commercial motivations. Her song dedicated to John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr., Bonsoir John John would be tarred with accusations of necrophilia. Sullied by her association with Gainsbourg, her songs failed to chart for a long time afterwards.
Although struggling in her home country, France Gall regularly recorded in Germany from 1966 to 1972, in particular with the composer and orchestrator Werner Müller. She had a successful German career with songs by Horst Buchholz and Giorgio Moroder: Love, l'amour und liebe (1967), Hippie, hippie (1968), Ich liebe dich, so wie du bist (I love you the way you are) (1969) and Mein Herz kann man nicht kaufen (My heart is not for sale) (1970). Gall had several other releases in France in 1968, none of which aroused any great interest. At the end of 1968, on reaching the age of 21, Gall separated from Denis Bourgeois and stretched her wings upon the expiration of her contract with Philips. The early seventies continued to be a barren period for Gall. Although she was the first artist to be recorded in France for Atlantic Records in 1971, her singles C'est cela l'amour (1971) and Chasse neige (1971), faltered in the charts. In 1972, Gall, for the last time, recorded songs by Gainsbourg, Frankenstein and Les Petits ballons, but these also failed to chart. She remained firmly in the media spotlight, dating 60's idol Claude François, then going on to enjoy a four-year relationship with another popular French singing star, Julien Clerc (1970 - 1974). From the 1970’s onwards, Gall started regularly visiting Senegal, where she in 1990 bought her hideaway on the island of N'Gor, close to Dakar.
1974 proved to be a major turning point in France Gall's personal life as well as in her professional career. She then first met the French singer/songwriter Michel Berger. Shortly after this initial meeting Michel Berger and France Gall began a passionate relationship, and the couple would rarely be seen apart. Berger created a whole new repertoire for her and France Gall soon made a major comeback on the French music scene, rocketing to the top of the charts with her new single La Déclaration in 1974. This proved to be the first of many hits which Berger wrote especially for Gall. Indeed, each of the singer's successive albums would contain several best-selling hits. Meanwhile, their relationship was beginning to become increasingly serious and in 1976 they married. France Gall shared years of work and family life with Michel Berger, becoming one of the most popular showbiz couples of France. In 1988 her hit Ella, elle l'a (Ella She Has It), a tribute to Ella Fitzgerald, topped the charts in many countries. After Berger’s sudden death in 1992, France Gall continued to perform her late husband's repertoire at every opportunity, participating in countless gala tributes held in Berger's honour. The couple had two children, Pauline and Raphaël. Sadly, in 1997, tragedy blighted her life once again, when her daughter Pauline died at the age of 19. France retired, but in 2004 a new France Gall compilation was released, Evidemment. It proved to be a another huge hit.

Vladimir Semyonovich Vysotsky 1938 – 1980, was a Soviet singer-songwriter, poet, and actor who had an immense and enduring effect on Soviet culture. He became widely known for his unique singing style and for his lyrics, which featured social and political commentary in often humorous street-jargon. He was also a prominent stage- and screen-actor. Though the official Soviet cultural establishment largely ignored his work, he was remarkably popular during his lifetime, and to this day exerts significant influence on many of Russia's musicians and actors.
Vysotsky was born in Moscow at the 3rd Meshchanskaya St. (61/2) maternity hospital. His father, Semyon Volfovich (Vladimirovich) (1915–1997), was a colonel in the Soviet army, originally from Kiev. Vladimir's mother, Nina Maksimovna, (née Seryogina, 1912–2003) was Russian, and worked as a German language translator. Vysotsky's family lived in a Moscow communal flat in harsh conditions, and had serious financial difficulties. When Vladimir was 10 months old, Nina had to return to her office in the Transcript bureau of the Soviet Ministry of Geodesy and Cartography (engaged in making German maps available for the Soviet military) so as to help her husband earn their family's living.
Vladimir's theatrical inclinations became obvious at an early age, and were supported by his paternal grandmother Dora Bronshteyn, a theater fan. The boy used to recite poems, standing on a chair and "flinging hair backwards, like a real poet," often using in his public speeches expressions he could hardly have heard at home. Once, at the age of two, when he had tired of the family's guests' poetry requests, he, according to his mother, sat himself under the New-year tree with a frustrated air about him and sighed: "You silly tossers! Give a child some respite!" His sense of humor was extraordinary, but often baffling for people around him. A three-year-old could jeer his father in a bathroom with unexpected poetic improvisation ("Now look what's here before us / Our goat's to shave himself!") or appall unwanted guests with some street folk song, promptly steering them away. Vysotsky remembered those first three years of his life in the autobiographical Ballad of Childhood (Баллада о детстве, 1975), one of his best-known songs.
As World War II broke out, Semyon Vysotsky, a military reserve officer, joined the Soviet army and went to fight the Nazis. Nina and Vladimir were evacuated to the village of Vorontsovka, in Orenburg Oblast where the boy had to spend six days a week in a kindergarten and his mother worked for twelve hours a day in a chemical factory. In 1943, both returned to their Moscow apartment at 1st Meschanskaya St., 126. In September 1945, Vladimir joined the 1st class of the 273rd Moscow Rostokino region School.
In December 1946, Vysotsky's parents divorced. From 1947 to 1949, Vladimir lived with Semyon Vladimirovich (then an army Major) and his Armenian wife, Yevgenya Stepanovna Liholatova, whom the boy called "aunt Zhenya", at a military base in Eberswalde in the Soviet-occupied zone of Germany (later East Germany). "We decided that our son would stay with me. Vladimir came to stay with me in January 1947, and my second wife, Yevgenia, became Vladimir's second mother for many years to come. They had much in common and liked each other, which made me really happy," Semyon Vysotsky later remembered. Here living conditions, compared to those of Nina's communal Moscow flat, were infinitely better; the family occupied the whole floor of a two-storeyed house, and the boy had a room to himself for the first time in his life. In 1949 along with his stepmother Vladimir returned to Moscow. There he joined the 5th class of the Moscow 128th School and settled at Bolshoy Karetny, 15 (where they had to themselves two rooms of a four-roomed flat), with "auntie Zhenya" (who was just 28 at the time), a woman of great kindness and warmth whom he later remembered as his second mother. In 1953 Vysotsky, now much interested in theater and cinema, joined the Drama courses led by Vladimir Bogomolov. "No one in my family has had anything to do with arts, no actors or directors were there among them. But my mother admired theater and from the earliest age... each and every Saturday I've been taken up with her to watch one play or the other. And all of this, it probably stayed with me," he later reminisced. The same year he received his first ever guitar, a birthday present from Nina Maksimovna; a close friend, bard and a future well-known Soviet pop lyricist Igor Kokhanovsky taught him basic chords. In 1955 Vladimir re-settled into his mother's new home at 1st Meshchanskaya, 76. In June of the same year he graduated from school with five A's.
