Top Ten British Cars Ever Built- Autocar Poll
1 Original Mini
2 Range Rover
3 E Type
4 Land Rover
5 Mc F1
6 Evoque
7 Caterham 7
8 Morris Minor
9 MP4 12C
10London Taxi
I agree with the Mini being top and have no problem with the top 5 but not necessarily in that order.
But which bloody Cheshire WAG reads Autocar to put the Evoque above the 7?!!!
And no Locost!!!

I think there should be at least one TVR in there... 
And I agree with the Evoque, it has no business being in this list.

Indeed, it's a nice looking car but it's not been round long enough

The Evoque is pointless triumph of styling over function and has no place in that list. They can replace it with the Elise.

This list pretty much sums up Autocar readers, rather than British cars. Fine example of news made from ignorance.

I'd agree with about half of them at a push, but how could they not have Rolls Royce on the list? And three different Land rovers?

Morgan?
Aston Martin?
Mk1 Escort?
Since when has a London taxi been a car?
Tell them about the bent treacle edges!

Since when has it been anything else? Though I'll concede it isn't a specific car.

They should have included the GT40, RS200, Cobra and Delorean, mostly to annoy Americans.

You'd be surprised how quickly the sales people at B&Q try and assist you after ignoring you for the past 15 minutes when you try and start a
chainsaw

I know I am odd, but I just don't like the looks of the McLaren. I know everyone else loves it, and with enough off shore money, they would all
have one, but I wouldn't.

Kind of with you on this one.
It's not unattractive, but it just doesn't seem to have a soul like Ferrari, Lambo etc manage to achieve with ease. It's like they
asked the computer what the perfect supercar would look like and that's result - probably no far from the truth!

Noble? Surely they're one of the last bastions of a truly british car
(I've always wanted to use bastion in a sentence )

Should at least be one Aston
DB7, most beautiful car ever !
DB5, fabulous
Range Rover 'classic' as it broke new ground, Land Rover was just a Jeep copy at the end of the day, although it has evolved, the current
shape is 50 years old
