For me nothing rejectful beats the Pacific PR02
These come close though:
Don't know why, but I loved that green-blue Larrousse livery.
As good it looks, as bad it was.
This is not a reject, but this one is beautiful in its simplicity.

It's definitely the better of their 1994 liveries.
As it's statistically more rejectful than the 1994 car, I think the 1989 Larrousse livery deserves a mention too.

Actually Larrouse was running more races in this Green-blue livery than in the Kronenburg lvery.

As above; Simtek and Lola are bloody fantastic liveries.
But so are these:
Fondmetal GR01 of the '92 Season.
Arrows A21 of the '00 Season.
Spyker F8-VII of the '07 Season.

I thought i was the only one who liked this! Actually, i think 2000 was a great year for liveries, plenty of variation.
God, I love the M02 but who am I to say as an obviously biased Minardi fan.
The PR02 was also pretty, as well as most of Lotus's early 90's stuff.

I will always love this. The crappy industrial grey just added to the feeling that the car was cobbled together in a knackered old lock-up in Wythenshawe.

Not only that, but the great Ursus sponsorship indicates that the parts used in the car came from old agricultural vehicles.

That Ursus sponsorship was like herpes to the back of the grid teams in the mid-1990s. Anyone with it was going doooown.

I always thought Ursus was vodka? I think it was the breakfast of choice for the design team.

You are right. I mistook it for the highly popular Polish tractor manufacturer. Although not far way there exists also the Ursus beer. But the Pacific one was the vodka makers.

I can see where there'd be some confusion.

Ursus is an Icelandic company which is famous of his vodka indeed, but in Inceland it's more known about their bottled mineral water. How they got in contact with Pacific is beyond me, but I more preferred the big waves on the sidepods to the Ursus logo...

Big fan of all pre-Stoddart Minardi liveries, but I've got a particular soft spot for the black, white and green editions of 1995-96 (modelled here by Pedro Lamy at what looks like Interlagos)

Yes! Aside from the all-white 1993 livery this is my favourite Minardi scheme. Lovely!

Would the MP4/1 used at the end of the 1983 season count? Given it had a new engine and was classed as a separate constructor (if Wikipedia is correct
) and had a best finish of 11th.

Although not F1, I hope it is passable.
How about this man and his cars?
...King Hiro! Simple, classy design, great choice of colors.
Eye-catching car. Easy to spot as it was lagging in the back with the King behind the wheel. There is something in silver and metallic blue.
Oh, for those who don't know the King himself, he has 117 CART starts and ONE finish better than 9th. A 6th, but that time a whole 7 cars finished.

The MP4-30 is that car's spiritual successor, right down to the awful power delivery.

Remember the Jaggermeister livery Eurobrun had in '89? This is it on the ER188B
Talk about rare...

I took a further look down and noticed a few oddities.
These two don't have "Pic: (some other circuit)" after them, so is this Zakspeed doing the canonical March thing, i.e. running two cars with different airbox designs - and if so, why? As I remember it (from the pictures), March in 1988 always ran a regular airbox for Ivan Capelli and the odd T-shaped job for Mauricio Gugelmin.
