Can you identify this car for a point?

Experts may know...

Got to 80's

I would guess a ford base as it appears a Capri grille has found its way there.

(but it is ugly...)

Yes the era is about right.
However, it's not Ford-engined

TR7 based?

Despite its wedginess, no

Wedge this one in the pro hole

Howlyn ZR1
Rover V8 engine
One-off completed in 1993

Quiller · « **Reply #14 on:** October 08, 2010, 02:27:43 PM »

That's the car!
(not sure about the date - must admit I thought I'd scanned it from a 1980s mag but I can't recall now)

woodinsight · « **Reply #15 on:** October 08, 2010, 03:02:39 PM »

I also found it in a 1980s magazine - see image below

woodinsight · « **Reply #16 on:** October 08, 2010, 03:06:17 PM »

Not sure about the date - 1993 is stated and I was wrong to say it was a 1980s magazine - it was 1990s!

Allemano · « **Reply #17 on:** October 08, 2010, 03:08:46 PM »

what about an 'Ugly Car of the Week' topic?

woodinsight · « **Reply #18 on:** October 08, 2010, 03:10:57 PM »

I have 100s of those - good idea for a new puzzle perhaps?
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder though so some people may not agree!

Those with working eyeballs are most likely aligned with Allemano

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

Personally I don't subscribe to that viewpoint..
