A classic sports car described as 'one of the most beautiful and innovative concepts' of its time has gone on sale for £200,000. The incredible-looking 57-year-old Flajole Forerunner started life as a 1953 Jaguar XK120 - one of the best sports cars of its day. But in 1955, U.S. designer Bill Flajole decided he wanted to create his own motoring masterpiece and set out to modify the English car.

Even considering the taste of the day, that car is hideous.

I spent 1.5hrs broken down on the side of the road in this 1930 model this week.
After having driven one and worked on two I just do not see the appeal. Sure dialing in an idle at 250rpm is kind of neat but the cars on whole are just a clusterfu...erm. Lets say Kerfuffle.

I love the lines, but would have given it a proper rear window and normal roof so the rear view mirror could be mounted inside the car.

I thought it was a customized Nash Healey.
With some early Corvette side cove influence.
