Like a fat Arrows A2 😁

Even on the most ugly ones, if you try long enough you will find an angle which doesn´t make you turn away immediately.

They went to a lot of trouble to make it look so bad, Graham...

American circa 1972 - apparently the body is from a Nash Metropolitan.

The body is a Henry J with the windshield & vent window frame moved back to the B pillar.

I'm hesitant to add contemporary content to TNF, but I saw this outside our living room window on the weekend and I'm still feeling traumatized.

I've seen numerous examples of the cybertruck in my hometown, which I do not understand.

Every time I see one I think of The Emperor's New Clothes.

I'm sure they tried their best to develop heptagonal tires to complete the look.

Well, they copied SOMETHING and in the process made Chrysler's Crossfire look good by comparison.

 

[404KF2]

AI would have looked better.

[Ray Bell]

Maybe modeled on this?

Sad, derivative garbage. Don't you hate being gaslighted by a once proud brand?

[john aston]

Actually I think it's an improvement on the recent crop of largely indistinguishable cars with mediocre styling (XE , XF ) or yet another pastiche of its greatest hits ( E-Type and XJ6 )

Be honest, that isn't an improvement on anything, at least not in this world.

Talking of painfully ugly, I wonder if any TNFers (especially Surrey based ones) can help me identify a car I saw during the summer.

My wife and I were travelling to visit our daughter in the Queen Elizabeth Foundation in Leatherhead when we took a wrong turning off the A3 and ended up going through Esher. At a junction I noticed what appeared to be a roadgoing Formula One car waiting to emerge. It was bright orange with a front end that resembled a March 751 (broad, flat nosecone) from the front and a very narrow rear end similar to a Tyrrell 012. I did only get a glimpse as I drove past the junction but I wonder if anyone can help identify this rather distinctive car.

[68targa]

I've seen that rear end before !

 

[Doug Nye]

On circuit there were seldom many rivals running behind the Hamilton Aston to get that view of it.  Re the so-called 'Jaguar' that's the view of it I most prefer...as it recedes into the distance...or the pink fog...

Very much my home patch but I have never seen anything like that.  But there are a lot of people around there with far more money than sense or indeed taste.  Check out the KTM Cross-Bow or the Ariel Atom V8 which might have been what you saw?

The car GazChed saw wasn't like this one was it? Other than the name 'can-am' I couldn't see any other identification on it. I spotted this conveyance in Normandy earlier this year ago, Beuvron -en-Auge to be exact. Famous painter David Hockney lives in the village, but somehow I doubt that he was the owner of this interesting looking little runabout. I would have liked to have been able to examine it more closely, but I was being hurried along, we were a bit late for a Déjeuner appointment, and we didn't see it again.

I thought Lewis was transferring his slightly fading talents to Maranello, not joining the Stroll family at AM, he hasn't chamged his mind has he?

Maybe one of these (a BAC Mono) ?

It did look far nicer in black.

It does look better than a cartoon truck. Only just however. Maybe they should make it in untrimmed stainless to get the full puke factor!
