How ugly am I ...

[Nigel Crompton]

Wandering around an old town in de Nederlands clutching brown envelopes and seeking to buy some stamps, I encountered a local lady..
"Hi.." says I .. "Do you speak English?"
"Of course" came the (expected) reply
"Where can I buy stamps, please" waving the envelopes.
"Not in this town, anymore" she replied.
I must've looked crestfallen as we were living on our boat at the time and I said 'Ohhh .. these are our referendum postal votes"
"Come with me, this is important, I have stamps at home you can have !"

En route back to the boat, forms posted, I encountered this ... the retro Citroen H van in another thread prompted this post. Has anyone seen uglier ?

 

[Larrynwin]

Unique maybe

 

[TheAleMan]

Pig!!!

It's beautiful and full of personality and character.

Push me Pull you!!!

I actually quite like it - quirky - but perhaps best viewed from the inside out!

I think it looks cute

 

[suavecarve]

My normal response to something being "Ugly" is "Its so ugly its amazing he hasnt got 2 heads"

Never did I think I would use the phrase "Its so ugly it has got 2 fronts"

 

[Ingwe]

Pig!!!

You’ll hurt its feelings!

 

[PP Bear]

Yep, I like it. This springs to mind……

Going back to your original story, we found the Netherlands to have the most lovely people that we have ever encountered on our travels!

I love it. Is has character and personality. It is not just another box on wheels.
I would have it in a heartbeat.

Just keep it away from woodlice - it might reproduce.

I do honestly appreciate the curves on some retro vehicles, but sorry, undecided about that one.

 

[Onemanandhisdog]

Looks like they tried to make a fibreglass airstream and failed dismally!

Don't think the swim platform improves the looks at all ..

Not the best example of a retro vehicle. But still far better than any modern box to my eyes

 

[Just smiffy]

We’re verging on victimisation here, we will have the woke police defending this camper in court….

How do you think Baileys evolved?

 

[TheBig1]

So long as they look after the chassis and running gearm it will outlive any modern van. Look closely and you can see it has a modern fridge, so they are using it

I saw one of these in Spain and Morocco, must have been a few years younger as it had the merc badge instead of hannomag. I actually like these though very 60's looking

Funnily enough, just after the pic posted by the OP I thought... Not Ugly to me. Actually I like it very much! And you said exactly what instantly spread to my mind....

 

[Northernraider]

Here's the one I saw in Spain last winter

 

[SpeedyDux]

Vintage Hanomag Orion MH.

I think they look great.

Why the wheelbarrow though?

So you can walk back down the road and pick up all the bits that fell off

 

[Madeinengland]

Yes, its so ugly…but I like it

 

[Just smiffy]

I’ve had wives like it, ugly but practical….

 

[Mousy]

I really like it! Just goes to show beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
