Im going out spotting on sunday but ill enter these two for now:

1986 Freight Rover 200 Series Box Van ex-British Telecom.

EDIT: I'll enter this one too.

1988 Subaru Justy MKI 1200cc 4WD.

[Station]

There's one of those Subaru Justy's in the local scrapyard. Not sure if they're rare or not? It hasn't been 'forklifted', but the interior is a little 'damp'.

[fotorabia]

NOTE: Special Bravery Award goes to the sucker [sorry..enthusiast] who goes and rescues any shite featured in this competition.

[Gompo]

Can we avoid having pics taken at wanky angles, with crap filters/effects and reflections of cars in hubcaps/door mirrors/chrome bumpers etc?...Just natural shite.

[Milford Cubicle]

That's a shame about the wanky angles Gompo, I wanted to make my tedious "that car must have a good handbrake" remark.

 

I liked my Carpocalypse Now photos from the Isle of Rust.

 

 

 

[brammy777]

I remember those Milford, brilliant pictures you got.

[Station]

They look a little rusty don't they? Agree on the artsy effects/filters!

[whitevanman]

sadly not got the full pic of this anymore...

 

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Some class photos there. I was going to put up a load of close-ups of highly-polished car badges but if we're not doing any arty bollocks I dont think i'l bother, have this autoshite 'boating holiday cruiser' instead:

 

 

And an untaxed Bristol seen at Portmeirion ages ago.

 

[Guest]

I'll go with this old clunker:

[dollywobbler]

TR7 and JCB-type thing

 

Land Rover on the north coast of Scotland (prime area for shite spotting)

 

Le shite de l'auto

 

Lots of shitey 2CVs

 

Pug 404 pick up. Still in use I reckon! Spotted in the Pyrenees

[Electric Leyland]

If it's restrictred to photos taken by yourself as opposed to lifted off the net then here's my 3 entries:

 

Daily driver taken on holiday in downtown Sofia, Bulgaria

 

Another daily, taken on holiday in Amsterdam:

 

And in Leicestershire countryside:

 

But if it's a photo sourced from anywhere, then I'd be starting with this from my collection...

[Guest]

I haven't spotted anything truely shocking yet. The closest I can get is the A35 (rubbish with this era of Austin) that I spotted in Totterdown, Bristol, on the hill adjacent to Windsor Terrace where Being Human is filmed.

 

 

That be my submission, as it's a daily driver and looked a bit shagged. Still cool though.

[Hudsonpie]

That Interceptor is a shame

[155V6]
