Honestly, that's so far round the horseshoe of ugliness that it's almost round onto the pretty side. I burst out laughing!

It's a pretty version of the Lancia Gamma.

It does have a slight 'Citroën DS' type charm about it...

Personally, while I neither have the time, nor really the use for such a car, would in another life consider buying it just because is so dam random and comes with such an awesomely random yet now documented history.

Hope it sells and finds a good owner. The Ebay listing doesn't really due it justice, unlike the other advert.

Thanks everyone, but especially to Adrian for the history link. Interesting, but not tempting at all!

I think there are some Citreon SM and Capri, bits in it, and some of the mold was lifted from a Elan +2 back bumper looks like the Riley Elf bumper used on the Lotus
