    I live in Greece and everyone here (of some age, hm) remembers the Express Service commercial. What I remember from that time is being a little kid in a car with my parents down Syngrou Avenue in Athens and driving by the Express Service headquarters where they had this particular (I guess!) car on display on a large elevated platform. Also, in the photo at 2:03 (which looks like it was taken in front of the Municipal Theater in Pireaus if I am not mistaken), the sign on the left reads "Photos and videos prohibited"!

    Regarding the inactive lights I'd imagine with age (and how thrown together it is inside) that something has failed, possibly broken connection(s) as they have fitted lights on it that aren't working. Needs a visual investigation to see if the "dead" lights are connected and some effort with a multimeter to check wiring continuity, outputs on the circuit boards etc.

    First i have to say, that you Guys are amazing, thank you so much for your Work and effort to bring this fantastic Information, KR knowledge, background Infos and soooo much more to our KR Hearts 🥰 and keep this fantastic 80's Series alive 😎
    OMG that's so cool 😎 When i got the Notification that you guys have a new Video uploaded, i know directly from the Thumbnail Picture... THIS IS GETTING INTERESTING 🧐😳😎 I thougt immediatly, holy sh*** i know this Part and i damn know where it came from, or where it belongs too aaaaand i personally pushed a few of the Buttons on this Console back in 2018, when it was still in the place where it came from 😊😊😊
    So let me get into this... Because.... i am clearly a big KR Fan forever, i am building my own Replica too. But when i was a Kid, i never get the Chance to sit in a Tour Car, when David was touring around Europe and especially Austria (where i live), i didn't even get the Chance to go on a Concert from him. I started my Replica Build in 2015... more or less it is going quiet well, step by step 😁 I am very interested in Cars as well, so back in 2018 there was a Car Show in Vienna, the Owner of the Tour Car, where you get this Overhead Console from, was the Organizer of this Show and i knew he where putting his Tour Car on Display there.
    So i get to Vienna, to get a closer look on that Car, it was important for me, as i said... i never was sitting in a Tour Car and get a Polaroid Picture from this stunning Moment.
    So i dicided to give Full Power on my Mission... and i was going around this Car Show from A to Z, going there, and there... and speak to many many People there, Security Staff, Official Looking People, i talked to a bunch of People... until i get to a Women, she was in the Organizing Team, and she made it possible 🥰🥰🥰
    Oh Maaaaan my Heart was beating thousands of Revs up 😁 noooo not because of the Woman 🤣 it was because finally the Time has come to get in a Tour Car, and it was a absolutley stunning Moment,
    she get a guy from the Motorcycle Stunt Show which was going on right next to the Hall where the Car was on Display, to get the Lights on the Dash working.
    The Owner of this Tour Car is also the Head of this Motorcycle Stunt Event "masters of dirt".
    But i think you allready know the owner, as you had helping him out with Parts and knowledge to put the right Parts in the Car 😊
    And i am also pretty sure, you know how he get this Car.
    Finally i would say... the KR Circle where Closed right there for me, it was this missing Piece i wanted to get.
    Back in 2018 i knew this Car where never used in the Show and was build after the Show was ended, honestly i knewd it years before but it is an important KR History and should be honored.
    Maybe it Sounds crazy, but i am glad, that i never was sitting in a Tour Car when i was a kid, because if I imagine that I would have sat in a tour car with the belief that this is "The Real KITT", get a Polaroid Picture and start dreaming when looking at it, and decades later learn that the car was never used in the series, I think that would have broken my heart.
    I would be very happy if you loading up more Videos about this Stuff... Tour Cars... unusual KR Parts, and also your Screen Used Cars 🥰
    Thank you again for your stunning work, you guys absolutley amazing 😎
    Greetings from Europe 👋😎
