Best British car
What's the best British car, ever?
(note: best for you, please explain why it's best for you).
I'm still thinking about it myself, don't know yet.

That's a good one Peter!
But I'm still thinking about a few other cars too...
Like I said, in no means 'perfect' cars, but perfectly British!
Can't make up my mind yet:
Jaguar XJ220
Jaguar XJ 5.3 (series 2 V12 long wheelbase saloon)
Austin/Morris Cooper S
Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato
Bentley R Continental
Jensen Interceptor

the best is difficult, there are so manny also many "forgotten" because the are no longer in the news, but one of the best for me Is Lotus and TVR specialy the older types like the lovely Lotus Elite or the TVR Tuscan V8 SE...

Would be an Aston V8 Vantage (from the seventies...of course) for me, I think this car exactly stands for ''THE British car''. It's fast, stylish, it's got class, and it is built properly. Not fragile, like Italians, but heavy, solid...
(However I better like the Italian philosphy of building cars, and Bentley's are the fastest trucks in the world )

Hugo, I loved the Aston Zagato when it came out 20 years ago. Together with the F40 and Porsche 959 it was my supercar of that decade. It wouldn't hit 187mph(300kmh) if I recall correctly. Just 180mph.
:twisted: But when I the formgiving of the eightier years now back see, can I now not understand why I so crazy was on that car.
