Photo by Ole WodThe Opel GT AL are the first car in the world with revolving eyes. The GT was initially designed with square eyes, but it was changed in the late state of the design-phase to revolving eyes, which are one of the characteristic og the unik car. To bring the headlamps into action a lever beside the gearlever is pushed firmly forward, and a dull thud is heard as the lamp units complete their turn and lock in the raised position, when they light up automayicaly. A red lamp light up in the panel wheh you start the operation, and the light turn off, when the headlamps are in proper position and turne on. Until few years ago it was the only car in the world with this type of light. The Jaguar XJ220S was produced with the same type of light (but electric operated), and the jaguar XJ220S won the 24 hour Leman race in France in 1993 with a danish driver John Nielsen in the crew.
