Now beauty, is in the eye of the beholder, however when it comes to the ugliest, and worst, cars known there are many debates and point of contention for aesthetic and physical appeal of automobiles.
The car I have chosen I find to be not so much ugly, or bad, as it is just a plain, and simple, joke.
Presenting....the PEEL P50!

The Peel P50 is a great example of British engineering, a 3-wheeled micro car that was produced by the Peel Engineering Company on the Isle of Man between 1962 and 1965.

Reproduced as replicas in 2010 under Peel Engineering Ltd (Not the same company), the cars are road legal in the United Kingdom and are powered by a 49 cc engine to put out an amazing top speed of 61 km/h.

Not to say this isn't a nice toy, but as a car, it's a like it or lump it case, wherein my view towards this "car" is that of a hobby or little play thing, nothing more; able to seat one person and their shopping bag. That being said, it is rather cute.
