Mclaren: First season with the new Silver and Black livery
Jordan: Great looking car in their bright new yellow and the snake nose.
Prost: The dark shiney Royal Blue with those ornage flashes on barge boards
Sauber: What became classic Sauber, Blue and Green with Yellow Nose.
Arrows: The White Car with Blue edging and red front wing
Stewart: White with the new tartan flashes
Tyrell: White with Black Wings + Those strange sticky up wings they had.
Minardi: White and Black with the Yellow base and front wing.
And of course all be it we never really saw it....
Lola: Their mash of Master Card Colours.
1997 had it all Classic liveries from the past (Williams & Benetton, Classic liveries of the future (Mclaren & Jordan), and a downright hideous Lola Mastercard livery. What more could you want. :

One of my most treasured F1 memories is getting up at 3 in the morning for the Australian Grand Prix Qualifying, and the ITV were giving a rundown of the teams, then when they got to Arrows, it showed that car with it's brand new sponshorship darting past the shady trees in that beautiful park. It was one of the most amazing sights I've seen in F1. I even gasped out loud, it was so exciting. That livery is probably my all-time favourite out of many fantastic liveries. I will always remember 2000 for Arrows. Their astonishingly strong performances through that season were a real treat.SPAM - Going off topic to give you the deals you don't want.

I personally think every single F1 car and livery is beautiful.
I love the 1994 Lotus livery!
But the pre 1994 Larrousse's were pretty weak. Coulda been better.SPAM - Going off topic to give you the deals you don't want.

Can I just say that 2011 looks like a very nice liveried year? Apart from the Sauber C30 which is a little boring, they all look quite cool in their own way. Even the Red Bulls as a livery which conveys the message does it quite strikingly.
The McLaren and the Mercedes are close-ish, but still distinctive enough to be different. Heck even the Virgins look quite niceThe Old Republic was a stupidly run organisation which deserved to be taken over. All Hail Palpatine!

Minardi 2000 with their green / yellow livery was nice, as well as it being a reasonable car. Shame it looked to much like a Jordan from a distance.
