I'd find it almost impossible to come up with a list that I'd agree with tomorrow. I just can't compare road cars with sports-racing cars.

I also find it hard to consider appearance alone. For example, I love TR-3s, but appearance wise think they look more suitable for hauling luggage carts around an airport tarmac than most anything else. I think the GT6 is the prettiest Triumph and feel it compares well with lots of other cars mentioned above. Given a choice, though, I'd probably take the TR-3.

All that gibberish notwithstanding I'd have to put the XK-SS and D-Type Jag near the top. I think the Lotus 17 is better looking than the Eleven. I think the Lotus 16 Formula 1 & 2 car was the best looking formula car ever. The Elan Coupe is high on the list.

And no one has mentioned this guy...

Lola Mk 1

My list:

Jaguar SS-100

AC Aceca

Austin Healey 100-4

and for something completely different, an everyday car:

The Ford Cortina Mk 5....

Oh my goodness! That MG is drop-dead gorgeous!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

Speaking of the Jaguar SS100, there is a company in the UK that makes a near-perfect (visually) replica of the SS100, but with modern running gear! Check it out:

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Jag XJ13 yet. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thirsty.gif

No French cars? You must be kidding!!! The French were the premier auto manufacturers in the world at one point.

Your right Art... hands down the prettiest and fastest I'd say... The Jag XJ13
/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif

 

[lesingepsycho]

The XJ13 isn't bad and I certainly wouldn't turn my nose up at an E-type but my vote definitely goes for the Jaguar D-Type. That's number one in my book!

I would take an original Ford GT40 (MKII).
The Invicta (looks a lot like a Blower Bentley).

[kennypinkerton]

The XKSS was my pick too.

 

[Harry_Ward]

It might have never been owned/built by a British manufacturer but I think the design team is British?

The Mclaren F1

 

[bugimike]

Sticking with british, my tastes go to the Healey Silverstone! A forgotten classic!

 

[aerog]

A couple of my favorites...

...and a little biased, I like the MGAs and MGBs /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
