I'd love to find a standard, unmolested S1 106 Rallye. Although like lots of other cars on the thread, its probably a pretty cool car, or at least I think so.
Yes,it's too cool for this thread.
I'd agree on loving to find one as standard but I'd HAVE to go and molest it by fitting a tujp5.. keeping the original tucked away under an old rug ;O)

I had a Nova GTE when i was 21. I'd have that car back in a second, brilliant
There were 3 lovely condition Novas up at Knockhill last month. Really made me want one, especially the one that still had the 3-spoke alloys!
legend, looking on Pistonheads, you can pick up a lovely one for 3k. Almost tempted...
mattbee > drove past one of those for sale earlier today.
I was going to ask Santa for a 2.8i Capri 2S, but seems that's been done. So I think I'll have one of these.

Err, you do know that the photo you posted is of an Astra GTE...?
Have owned numerous cool/uncool cars (loads of mini variants, a 2CV, even a couple of Allegros).
Don't think they're uncool as such, but would love to own these at some point.

That Lada Cossak, is that a Soviet Fiat Panda 4x4?
Could be, I know that you could fit Fiat motors in as replacements. Seriously fun cars though.
I'd have one of these though.

that's exactly what I just paid for a Clio 182, just as well I didn't know that until now!
My brother and Dad had Japanese imported Nissan Pulsar GTi-R's, 2.0 Turbo 4wd in a Nissan Sunny.. Standard 275 BHP, but my brother was running 420 BHP and Dad's was 375 BHP. Unbelievably quick, 0-60 was under 4 seconds in brothers and 4.5 in Dad's. 160+ mph was achieved in both.
Ugly as sin in some people's eyes but I loved the way they looked.
I had many a happy time driving them when I was 19-21. Enjoyed embarrassing a guy in a Porsche 911 Carrera 4 at the lights and showing him a clean pair of heels on a back road..

Got a 2l turbo sat in the garage under blankets (must get it going one day and stop play with these bikes) head gasket down is 2wd cozzy 😉
Always wanted a cortina

yeah, deliberate mistake, to see who knows their cars... 😳 it was along time ago!
I properly want that corrugate 2CV van, lovely thing.
Anything from http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewforum.php?f=12 is uncool, must be something in there I'd want....
Mercedes G Wagen or Matra Simca Bagheera for me.
Strada Abarth - good choice
I concur.
🙂
Too many cool or average cars on this thread though, BMW, Skoda, Subaru, Ford etc
I'll wade in with this, there's single numbers of these left now 🙁

So rare I can't find a pic of a decent one. Fiat 131 Supermirafiore Sport. The genesis of one of the finest rallying engines ever made.
Or a Lancia Montecarlo

Or a Lancia Beta HPE Volumex

I'm looking at some of these uncool cars, and realised that most of the cars I have owned have been worse than uncool: they've been bland.
Musy go off and rectify that.
Yeah baby!

I had a Chevette, lovely little car, loads of room in the back, always wanted the hot one, with the 2.3ltr slant-4 motor. I had a Mk 1 Nova after that, got a set of those three-spoke alloys for it, fun car to drive, until you hit water at speed, because the distributor was right behind the grill... 😳
my Grandad, who was a mechanic, and was therefore cool, had one of these which made it cool by association

I'm suprised no one's said a Metro 6R4
Want

I'm suprised no one's said a Metro 6R4
That's because it's NOT UNCOOL!!!
Durrrrr!
🙂
came on to say "Berlingo XTR" only to find DrP got there in post 2 so i'll make do with pics of my old Calibra Tickford from back in my student days. I'd have another in a heartbeat if i found a good one. brilliant car

A twizzy for a laugh
I had a 131 Mirafiori like the one PeterPoddy posted above. Mine was a 1981 and cost me £400 at auction. The insurance cost me so much that I could only afford to pay for 6 months. Turned out okay though because it had disintegrated before it needed renewing. Comfiest velour seats ever.
like this one (same colour anyway)

A few years later, split with a girlfriend brought about another rush to the head and the purchase of this lovely machine with my half of the deposit on a house.
Mk1 MR2 T-Bar. Mine was two tone - white and silver. 8)

I'd have a Mirafiori tomorrow if I could find a minter.
That bottom white Calibra looks like a doggers car

Was gonna post a mirafiori earlier. I learned to drive on on exactly like this, 2.0 twin cam. Had to scrap it in the end,had weld on the weld on the weld underneath.

That top one is [b]not[/b] an uncool car.
[b]this[/b] (same as the first Mrs B's old car) most definitely is though. Classic case of Mutton dressed as lamb (much like its owner 🙂 )

How is that Alfa not cool???????????
The more time I spend in the US, the more I want....

Folk arent getting this eh? A Mifiore, and a Beta HPE! do me a favour. These are uber cool.
Where's the Princess's, the Maxi's the Fuego's and Rancho's
Bloody philistines.
One mans cool is another mans uncool & vice-versa. 🙂

There are far more cool cars than uncool cars in this thread. There's even a Chevette up there! Crazy fools.
Genuinely:

Stick a V8 in it, overnight-camper conversion, sorted 
I give up in what universe is a Uno Turbo not cool, driving one was like being in a rocket propelled tin can.
How is that Alfa not cool???????????
well it is a lot less cool than the Jag e-type which was around at the same time, even though it was a far better car!
Maybe that should be a lot less cool than it should be...
I was just trolling 🙂
Big citroens? Not cool but I've had a few great ones. Well three V6 Xm's, inlcuding a late and early 24v. Properly quick 🙂
I do fancy a C6 - I just need the excuse!
However the wife wants a DS (1970's) which is cool to some people!
Apologies if this has been mentioned but once upon a time I really wanted one of these and thinking "oh my god! Renault have basically copied a 944" 😳

Turnerguy... Missing the point.. That old Alfa GTV is one of the coolest cars EVER made... Fact..
I retract that u troll... ; )
That UNO Turbo looks frikkin awesome..
