Rich is in no position whatsoever to cast the first stone when it comes to castigating owners of pug ugly kit cars;

Not the actual car in question.

Rich's other offering is so ugly that there are no pictures of it to be had anywhere on the world wide web, for fear that once its image is reproduced the entire internet would spontaneously stop working because of the burning shame it would experience. :lol:

how dare you, thats just the words of someone who hasnt yet dared to stoop as low as me :lol:

that late status 365 front is odd as well, i didnt think it would be possible to improve on the original pure brian luff design, and looking at that photo it would appear i was right

they only made 38 as well, so more unique than a works car or a police car.

survivors are rare now as well, i suspect that only the most avid collector will have an example :shock:

Looking at that it might even have the back end of the face lifted Nimrod, can't work out how it was flood damaged though, surely it would have floated :lol:
