Bit subjective this, but I feel I must say that the most beautiful British Car ever isn't a modern Aston or footballer-german- Bentley. No. It's the 1963 Alvis TD21 Soft Top. I'm not techy and the kids won't help but I'm trying to insert a picture, or at least a link to one. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/94/Alvis.td21.arp.750pix.jpg

I'm too blown away by the majestic beauty that is the new beetle in the background!

It is a handsome vehicle though. The TR5/6 were easy on the eye too. Then they got the rulers out and designed the 7 :(

They are gorgeous cars, no doubt about it. However, for me it's a 1969 / 70 Interceptor II. Ever since spying a Positano Yellow one at a car dealer when I was 7. Such a balance of elegance, beauty and muscle.

Frind had one as a student. Not much go, engine temperamental - valve seats..

Rust.

Don't bother.. Lotus Elite 1950s is timeless .en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lotus_Elite

You can see echoes of a Porsche 993 in the lovely white Elite in that article. Robbers!!
