The worst-looking cars made in Coventry, the West Midlands and beyond
The worst-looking cars made in Coventry, the West Midlands and beyond1 of 13 
Morris Marina: More famous for Top Gear destroying them with falling pianos these days, the Morris Marina was popular in its heyday but there's really no excuse for it being the second highest selling car of the 70s.2 of 13 
Peel Trident: The Isle of Man-built three-wheeler notoriously weighed less than 200lbs, tipping the scales at just 90kg.3 of 13 ![]()
Pontiac Aztek: Famous for representing Breaking Bad main character Walter White's mid-life drudgery, the Pontiac Aztek lasted just four years in garage forecourts before being discontinued by GM. Thankfully.4 of 13 ![]()
Rover SD1: Made in Solihull, the Rover SD1 was also known as 'the 2000'. It can be considered the last true Rover, but it's a shame such a historic company finished with such an offence to the retina.5 of 13 ![]()
AMC Gremlin: It was recreated by Hot Wheels toy manufacturers, but AMC's Gremlin remains one of the ugliest cars ever created due to its curious proportions. Bill Clinton and George Bush learned to drive in it.6 of 13 ![]()
FSO Polonez: Named after a Polish dance, there was no sense of poise with FSO's Polonez. Looking like a cereal box on wheels, it's a wonder how it took until 2002 for its production to be ceased.7 of 13 ![]()
Austin Allegro: Voted the worst car Britain has ever put its name to in a 2008 survey. We won't disagree with you. The car was, at one stage, the fifth highest-selling in Britain.8 of 13 ![]()
Austin Princess: Supposed to represent the 'luxury' of the future, Austin Princess was derided by many and ended up fourth on a list of the ugliest British cars a few years ago. Maybe it should have been named Maleficent.9 of 13 ![]()
Bricklin SV-1: The Canadian-built car is the only car in history to have powered gull-wing doors that opened and closed at the touch of a button. It isn't enough to redeem the motor, though, with only 3,000 being made.10 of 13 ![]()
Fiat 127 (Yugo): You had to change the interference engine's timing belt every 40,000 miles, leading Car Talk to vote the Yugo the worst car of the millennium. It remains a divisive motor.11 of 13 ![]()
SsangYong Rodius: Look at the back of it. Who has put that there? Surely it's a mistake in the factory? Chop it off, for goodness sake.12 of 13 ![]()
Triumph Dolomite: Canley-created Triumph Dolomite has a big reputation in Europe, apparently, but we're thankful that roughly only 1,000 are still road-worthy in the UK these days.13 of 13
