Got any strange yearnings for bizarre cars?

Speaking of Maserati, allow me to up the ante. This vehicle is currently on sale at a local specialist:
It's the screeching contrast between the strangely tasteful body color and the red wheels that does it for me.

Rover 800 Coupe.
I bought an ex Police Rover 827 coupe. It had 75k on the clockLondon car unmarked. Firearm safe bolt holes in the boot!
I put 75k on it in 3 years. Not one single problem. Honda engine.
I actually saw it on TV driving into some lags car in London. Just before shooting him.
Reg. Was L??? GUL
I never knew it had had a new wing on.

Matra Bagheera. I'm strangely drawn. For reasons that make little sense. Perhaps because a McLaren F1 is just out of reach, and the Matra is an easier in financially for 3 seats in a row.
Mk1 Scirocco GTI. Not bizarre enough perhaps, just hard to find now.
Bond Bug.
Toyota Blade Master G. An Auris with a 3.5 Lexus 6 pot, sleeper looks and arguably the barmiest name of any car I've heard of. What's not to like.

My goodness, it does look like a Polo. That is so charming.
But Polos don't spin their wheels in fifth gear when the turbo suddenly remembers to boost.
There will be someone somewhere in VAG licking circles Who will have done an engine swap and it will be impossible to drive with inappropriate levels of torque through the front wheels. But Polos don't spin their wheels in fifth gear when the turbo suddenly remembers to boost.
I don't think i have any Bizarre leanings towards a strange car, other than wanting to drive a rally spec 3 door cosworth on a gravel stage rally, and have someone else pay for the inevitable damage.

Here is mine
Spent 3 years looking for a good one, even looked in Japan. Finally found this beauty in the UK.
I absolutely love this car, by most objective measures it’s absolutely crap but I just don’t care.
Just under 60K miles and virtually mint. It’s an utter unicorn.

A good few years ago (I'm 30 now) I really fancied having a Morris Minor as a daily.
I opted for a Polo instead and still running it to this day.
Wouldn't say no to the MM though in the future.
I've had a yearning for a Moggie for years. Never driven one though so that might change my mind if I do!I opted for a Polo instead and still running it to this day.
Wouldn't say no to the MM though in the future.
If I get one (which I may well) I'll pay a bit more and get a restored one from Charlie Ware's in Bath unless I find a minter locally.

I came here to say this! I have a weird infatuation with these oddities.
As an aside, I had a C5 Audi Allroad for a few years, the 2.7TT variant, which was eventually written off (bloody van drivers) - and I've always had a serious hankering for the somewhat mythical 4.2, with Recaro interior and low range box of course. To me, an outstanding proposition of a daily - to most others, an idiots choice.

Same here, I really dig these cars like look carboard boxes on tiny wheels. I saw one at a car meet, guy gave it the full ricer treatment minus the camber mod, I really liked it and hated myself for feeling that way.
