They are French but I believe that Noel was an investor in the previous UK distributor.

One of my guilty pleasures would be the Mini Marcos. It's ill proportioned, dumpy, has an odd pointy snout that is too high...but somehow it just looks an awful lot of fun. It just seems so typical of the 1950/60 specialist sports car scene where cars were designed by engineers.

Love the Alfa SZ too.

CV8; Dart; 2CV; Bristol 404; 308GT4 and Alfa Giulia Super all have that 'jolie laide' look. Mind you I didn't think the Alfa or 308 ever were remotely ugly but as all the Classic mags say they are I must be wrong...But what do I know- I'm the one who thinks the Elan is prettier by far than the sainted E Type.(E Hype more like)

One of the Briggs Cunningham entries for Le Mans 1950 - based on a stock Cadillac Type 61, and nicknamed by the French as "Le Monstre". Fugly, but IMO cool.

Can I drop a motorbike into this?

The Munch Mammoth:



Cool because of its name mainly, and that it used to win Top Trumps when I was a kid

Are the eighties cool again yet?

Great car, horrible square plastic interior and dodgy aesthetics though.

Edit - who is that in red watching in the background? Scary. The one standing next to the Gruffalo in blue.

It's Baron Samedi in Live And Let Die.

Ugly? Really? A bit odd looking but there are far uglier creations out there. Saw a van version a few hours ago. Good to see it still being used in anger!

Sorry, that didn't come out...

Is that a picture of a real car? Somehow it looks like a model of some kind. Just asking.

Yes, it is a model. It was the best thing I could find on Google Image.

Doesn't stop the chavs from driving them. I can never fathom out how they get the insurance, or indeed whether the car is actually insured.
