Daily Telegraph: 100 Most Beautiful Cars of All Time

Their readers have voted. Lots of British cars in the Top 20 (duh, UK newspaper surveying UK citizens).

Re: Daily Telegraph: 100 Most Beautiful Cars of All Time

Now look at this...

89 - Mercedes-Benz 500K/540K




This is widely considered to be one of the most beautiful cars ever made. It should belong at least in the Top 20 or Top 40. But close to the bottom? What the....?

Re: Daily Telegraph: 100 Most Beautiful Cars of All Time

A respectable list if you ask me. Glad to see the 250 GTB SWB, XJ220, RX-7 (3rd gen) and the AM DB7 on the list.

Shame the Toyota 2000 GT always misses a place on these lists.

95 - Toyota 2000 GT



The world once viewed Japan as a serial manufacturer of turgid, practical runabouts. Then this was unveiled at the 1965 Tokyo motor show…

Re: Daily Telegraph: 100 Most Beautiful Cars of All Time

Feels like 75 % of the cars on the list are British and the E-Type as the #1 was expected.

I love some of the Alfa Romeos on the list.

Re: Daily Telegraph: 100 Most Beautiful Cars of All Time

I agree with several of the cars, and find several have no place on the list. The order is messed up.
But then everyone has different taste, many not that good

I agree. Complete blasphemy. That is one of the most sought after collectible cars and a position at 89 is an insult to the Mercedes brand.

Re: Daily Telegraph: 100 Most Beautiful Cars of All Time

I don't take this list serious considering they put the Veyron more beautiful than McLaren F1 and considering all the Jags, Astons and Lotus in the top 20.
