Certainly a few that deserved points for being different. And I actually like the look of the fourfour.

Lancia Montie carlo looks more than a little similar to a mark 1 esprit and a delorean. in fact its scarilly similar in outlook to a delorean

I used to have a Hillman Imp .It was a great laugh to drive,as long as you had a bag of sand under the bonnet.

Iv'e owned one or two of them.

 The K70 with the 90ps engine wasn't so bad.

 The 2.2 version of the land crab was about the roomiest cruiser on the market when in production.

  The 4 ltr R was "different" if a tad greedy, great pulling motor though. (not trailers)

  The 132 was nowhere near as bad as it's painted there, at least untill the rust set in. Motor was really good.

  The Maxi 1750 HLS with the rod rather than the cable gear shift wasn't so bad either. Like the 1800/2200 it was really roomy, many were used for taxi work.

  The Imp, in either Imp sport or Singer Chamois versions could be bought with the Holbay engine, and were a popular club racer. Quite a few are still used in classic saloon events.

  A few that I think should be on the list.

  Austin A30,  Plymouth Belvedere Powerflite,  Ford Delrio Ranch wagon,
Ford  Consul Clasic, and the Clasic Capri. Renault Friggate, etc etc etc

How dare they. BMW 8 series a flop?! Maybe in sales, costs and driver satisfaction but in looks?.... If Kelly Brook were a car...
