Yeah, ugly porches are the worst. 

I'm not keen on my front porch, but the rear porch looks pretty good.

Was once asked if I was a breast man or a butt man .

Replied "Depends, on if she's walking toward me or away".

Same applies to cars.

That's what i was thinking Matt when i read LLH 827D.

EDIT: Sadly it looks like it may be according to the Crayford site the Heinz 57 cars were registered sequentially LLH 801D through LLH 857 D.

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

The licence plate would indicate it possibly is

"WET COOPER", Partsguy1 (Terry Snell of Penticton BC ) - Could you send the money for the unpaid parts and court fees.
Ordered so by a Judge

I hope that is not an original Crayford/Heinz 57 car.

Haha! "Porsches"... with the "S".... reminds me of the guy who hired a lad to paint the white trim around his house. Owner tells the lad "When you've done the front, go around and paint the back porch". The lad was a bit hard of hearing, but finally came back about 3 hours later. The owner asked him what took so long? Lad answers "I looked and looked but couldn't find a black Porsche, so I painted your red one."

.

Taste seems to be a personal thing. I also like it , having auto crossed a Mini Marcos in the 70s I got used to having it called the potato bug or just butt ugly. Steve (CTR)

Yeah Carl I saw that too on BaT, just about the worst front end ever.  Worth buying just to fix and save the world from the ugly.

A Marcos is a butt ugly car to begin with.....this just puts it in a whole other category of ugly.
Looks a bit like what some cars in Japan end up looking like.

I'm assuming everything that has been done to this Marcos is functional but man is it strange looking!
