Underrated Beautiful Cars
Discussion
After seeing the Top Gear, on Dave, where the boys bought a supercar for £10k, I have fallen in love with the Ferrari 308 GT4.
It seems that this car isn't highly regarded but purely in terms of looks, I think it is an absolute belter. Just look at the side profile! So unfussy compared to modern Ferraris. Does anyone on here have one of these? If so, thoughts and pics!
Please list any underated cars you think are beautiful.

While we're on Ferraris, I've always had a soft spot for these...although most people seem to think they're horrible. I can only guess they expect more drama from a Ferrari, but I like the discreet, simple proportions and detailing (and I bet the V12 sounds pretty good too!!). I'd take mine in metallic baby blue or brown please! Really!
Not sure that any supercar styling is under-rated but the Maserati Khamsin with it's Citroen internals was certainly overshadowed by the Bora and Merak and is better looking and sleeker than both and I think paved the way with that glass panel round the lights. Oh for such visibility in modern cars.
Also largely overshadowed by the Espada.

Completely agree on the GT4 - preferably not in red.It seems that this car isn't highly regarded but purely in terms of looks, I think it is an absolute belter. Just look at the side profile! So unfussy compared to modern Ferraris. Does anyone on here have one of these? If so, thoughts and pics!

Another suggestion would be the Lancia Flaminia GT.

On a similar note. I give you...
The Lancia Beta Monte Carlo:
Actually, any Lancia Beta. Saw a Fulvia HF in the flesh for the first time in ages recently and that reminded what gorgeous cars they are - not so underrated though.
And, the Alfa Romeo Montreal:
Again, the Alfetta springs to mind, but that's fairly widely acknowleged.

Everything else I like I wouldn't say is "Underrated".... Edited by Petrolhead_Rich on Wednesday 22 September 13:23
