It reminds me of a lot of some of the prototypes coming out of BL in the 70s and 80s - man it's ugly !

As people keep telling me: "Just because you could, doesn't mean you should". That 263 should have been thrown in the waste paper bin as soon as it left the drawing board! It makes the TR7 look stylish.

Design is all about personal taste. It would be boring if we all liked the same things. The 263 is terrible.
