I read about this in the latest Octane magazine...a weird TV commercial for the Citroen CX from 1986, starring Grace Jones (or as Octane said, "avant-guard froot loop Grace Jones.) I wonder how long their ad agency lasted after this one aired.

Grace Jones also did an ad for Honda Elite scooters with Adam Ant.

It was for a Citroen. Did you expect something... normal?

80s + too much cough syrup = this

Robot Grace Jones is slightly less scary than actual Grace Jones.

I'm sure I remember that ad at the time, there must have been a UK version too.
