Your rubbish from yesteryear.

This little beauty was my first ride. £230 of precision French engineering acquired in 1988. I had at least 2000 happy miles of GT cruising before it inexplicably seized up in a puddle of oil & I was relieved of it's presence by the local do as you likeys. I give you the Renault 6...albeit not the actual one, but it was that colour.
Please pour scorn & abuse on me, I need to be punished for owning this motor.

My first car was a beige Morris Ital 1.3 automatic. I am hardly in any position to judge. 
In my defence it was my dad's and given to me when he died, so, as you can imagine, I have quite a bit of affection for the crap old rust bucket.

Thanks for this euphemism, it is great! A Volvo 343 like this, but mine was Volvo Blue, and rusty with holes in the wings, the cills, everywhere...
It cost me £225 after I knocked it down from £450. I really did not want to buy it and was disappointed when he chased me out to the deal after all!
3 months later I discovered antifreeze or the lack thereof and it went to the sky early. The next mot would have murdered it in any case..

A 1977 bottle green Datsun 120Y coupe.
Ugly, Uncool and very tired by the time I got my hands on it in 1988.
Quite cool now though apparently.
ETA: I was looking to post a picture off Google and came across this list of the worlds most beautiful cars. Ok, it's at the bottom of the list, but some clearly like the looks of the things......
