Very good list ! ... Suggestions: depends on what your car groupings are. Certainly the Land Rover Defender, an iconic and tremendously influential item, would be a worthy addition.
If you asked average british people, against petrol heads, the results would be different. The mini, the revolutionary mk1 ford cortina, the fiesta would be in the list along with the escort (its 50/50which would win betwwen those two, and the e-type jag and " james bond" db5 having to fight on the list against the mk2 jaguar saloon series. Our national classic cars here, are the affordable ones we actually owned and drove, and the just out of reach but eventually attainable. Things like the db5, jensen inteceptor, on this list are not representative of what should be on this list for those of us who lived with the cars. And misses some of the classic cars with an almost mystical aura around them, like the ford cortina mk 2 1600e, the mg's and healy's of the 60's to 80's, the everymans car of the austin 1100, and the vauxhall victor and cresta, to name a few.
Thank you for taking the time to write this comment, Alec! I totally understand your point, and I have to agree with you. In this video, I put the spotlight on the more famous British cars, instead of the cars that British people prefer. You gave a few cool recommendations, so stay tuned for Part 2!

Thank you, Mark! Believe it or not, I was considering a Land Rover/Range Rover for this list. One of them will be featured in Part 2, for sure!
Austin Healey 3000
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll definitely add it to the list for Part 2.
