Americans have long had a relationship with automobiles that transcends all understanding. Hot rods, deuce coupes, Stingrays, all of the popular muscle cars that we remember from our youth. But along with those memorable cars were some not so memorable ones. Can you spell Edsel? Relationships with cars were not limited to just the United States, however. Not only were the British enamored with automobiles like the Jaguar, the Range Rover, and the Rolls Royce, they also had their share of forgettable cars. Today’s Warped site ventures into that realm of male ego and looks at some of the best of the worst.

The Ugliest Cars in Britain is a collection of what the author believes is the most hideous collection of cars that have ever had the nerve to hit the asphalt in Merry Old England. Now keep in mind that the opinions here are those of the Webmaster and his associates, and what may be repulsive to them may be attractive to you. And vice versa.

Some of the names may seem somewhat familiar, such as Citroen and Austin and even Ford. (I spent two months in the Netherlands driving a Citroen AX once. It would do 35mph with a good tail wind!). In addition to the pictures and descriptions of the cars, there are links to other owners of the same makes and models, as well as links to help you find that rare part or missing piece that your particular car may be missing.

In the true British spirit, it is not interested in sensible discussions about cars, after all, it is not to be taken too seriously. But as the saying goes, “misery loves company.” There won’t be too many lonely cyber surfers at this site tonight. I just hope they have enough gas to get home.
