[TR] A very ugly British car

[P Caffrey]

Looks like they tried to eliminate the hood ornament and instead go for a
weird pointed hood.....But, just got back from the eye doctor and I'm
definitely farsighted.

I like the comment on the BaT website: "Nice legs,
shame about the face."
A car this homely makes me very appreciative of the
classic lines of 
an MG or TR.

Rare British
Fiberglass: 1951 Martin Ford Special

$30k barely buys you a pair of shoes in
Monaco, but we think that 
this interesting 1951 Martin Ford roadster would
draw more attention 
in town than the housekeeper's latest Aston. This body
was installed 
in place of the stodgy Ford bodies of the time and is propelled
by an 
885cc 4-cylinder. Find it
<http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?type=2&campid=5336491951&t
oolid=10001&customid=&ext=280437488768&item=280437488768>here 
on eBay in
Monaco with a ~$31k Buy-It-Now. Special thanks to BaT 
reader Marc M. for this
submission!
