You polished the "Messe" reflection very neatly out of the windscreen! ;)

Can somebody explain the context of the picture - what's the deal with all those Santa's and the young lady?

This picture was taken in the eighties in front of the Messe Essen building during the annual Essen Motor Show. The fair takes place each year in the winter time at the beginning of December. That's why the Santas. Guess the girl is an 'ordinary' fair hostess. At least I can't spot any celebrity fame in her face.

Yes, and some other obvious details, too: ;)

If anybody can prove her name, I´ll award another point ;D

I have no proof; just a hunch: Guigiaro's wife / girlfriend?
