Shite or Sexy???? It's in the detailing!

[warren t claim]

Looking at the Reliant Citroen BX clone I couldn't help but think that it looks utter shite but the BX is a sexy beast. The Allegro is another example of pure shite but the similar looking Alfasud is a sexy wee thing. I don't know why a few small styling details can make all the difference and I'm dammed if I can tell you what those differences are but are there any other examples of horny looking cars with a twin sister that fell off the ugly tree and bounced off every branch on the way down?

Scaled maquette replacement for the Austin Ambassador:

 

 

 

Looks like an Alpine!

Yeah, a weird alpine/bluebird/mk3 polo cross., I do like it though ! However if ti was to be made it would have been blighted by the usual BLisms and as a result would end up with the doors off a maestro and the lights off an SD1 and would be as a result, completely shit.

It already looks like it has Maestro doors!

[Pete-M]

Yeah, and what's wrong with SD1 lights? Eh? Eh?

 

To me, that looks like someone's definately shot it up with some Hyundai dna. Poor thing. Hyundai, Maestro, Mk3 Polo and Austin Embarrasodore all in one, with a dash of Alpine for bad luck.

 

I bet it's got Metro switchgear.

Reminds me of an early 1980's Hyundai Pony, even seems to have the same colour
