Not enough options in the poll. I don't find it cool, but I wouldn't call it a nail either...

Cool. To say otherwise it to advertise you unenlightenment. (In my humble opinion)

A classic and the first of its type

Uncool???? We'll just have to let the poll answer that one mate.

Just remember without some of these cars the ones you think are cool may not have ever existed.

uber-cool - especially early cars with ali opening panels and the A-frame rear suspension (mostly removed from cars that had it, unfortunately)

Definitely Uber cool, a friend of mine has, well used to have two, one that's genuine, original & mint, another built up from a GT, with all the right parts added, then period rally specced.

I test drove a couple in the early '80s, from Barry Ely's in East London, when I used to work near there. (where I was shown how to spot a genuine one!)

This is a cool car.

What makes it cool is that it started as a humble family saloon and with a bit of applied tweaking we get a very special car (especially in the day)
