7/10

Love, love, LOVE those Couriers, particularly the MkIV cars, but the Brooklands screens just aren't doing it for me...not on that car. Point taken due to the lack of a proper windshield (be it flat, butted or curved)--6/10.

Edit:

I knew I'd seen a Courier on Cosmics a while back...

Fair point, I probably didn't pick the best photo to show off the couriers shape and general profile. The Courier is a great looking little car nonetheless, and Cosmics really suit it well. In Mk3 and beyond trim it's at it's best aesthetically IMO, and in coupe form it looks pretty neat as well. Liking the Devaux as well, though if I have to say that photo doesn't do it's shape and proportions justice :drool: (though that's just me being pedantic :lol:).

Anyway, 6/10 for the Healey

I'm inclined to agree, though perhaps not with the coupe remark. Are you talking the slopeback cars or those with the reverse-tilted rear glass like that of an Anglia? Both are a little awkward for my tastes.

5/10 for the 3000ME--looks like a stretched Midas Gold MkIII convertible variant with a hardtop.

Speaking of the MkIII...

6.5/10 Of the many Mini based kit cars, I quite like the Midas', and I'd say I probably prefer the more rounded looks of the Mk3 as well to be fair. At best in breadvan-esque (not sure if that's the best way to describe it?) coupe form.

Either really. I'd say I probably lean towards the slope-back coupe more in terms of appearance, but I do quite like the way the reverse-tilted glass top coupe looks, suits the Courier more than it does on the Anglia I'd say as well :lol: (though the Anglia is a bit "meh" at best).

8/10 the TR250K, can't go wrong with a Peter Brock design. It's a shame Triumph didn't give the go-ahead for more production models to be made, or even follow the design language of the beautiful TR250K for later designs, but ended up settling with the rather lackluster TR7 instead.
