What's the ugliest car....that you would have/had to own?
Discussion
Lots of 80's cars fall into that category I think.
My renault 19 16v (pre-facelift) probably fell into that, boxy, but good!
Nissan Silvia 1.8 Turbo, my first proper quick-ish car, a real hoot, but pretty crappy looking.
my Audi S8 I have now, its a big grey shapeless blob, great car though!

I went to a car auction expecting to buy something, but nothing decent turned up. The auction house was miles from anywhere; goodness knows how much a taxi home would have cost.
With only three cars left to go through, I bought one of these - Lada 1200 Estate - also in white - for £60 to get me home

Austin Maestro.
I actually really liked it. Had it as a second car during a winter when my cossie was hibernating. It was £80 and came with 6 months tax and ticket (about 8 years ago!).
It was reliable, had a heater like a blast furnace, was enormous inside, could be left parked anywhere, and wasn't a bad drive. Compared to it's true contempories (Mk3 Escort, Mk2 Astra, Peugeot 305/309, Fiat Tipo) it wasn't actually as bad a car as history remembers it. All cars rusted back then.
I'd love an MG Turbo

It was a company car!!
Its the only car that I have ever had that had absolutely no redeeming features.
It's absolutely pristine, looks like it's been well looked-after and accompanies a Porsche 944 and an Alfa Romeo 156 Sportwagon on his drive.
He keeps slashing great chunks off the price and still no-one wants it. Last time I saw it it was £140 IIRC.

This one was mine. Don't know who the fat bloke is. (NOT ME!)
