Autocar scribe Sutters has listed (below) what, to him, are the ten most important cars ever. Needless to say I don’t entirely agree with him. So here are mine
Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 Stradale – because it is the most beautiful car…ever
The Mini (Alec Issigonis’s one)- because it made small cars trendy and showed that a good big’un doesn’t always beat a small good’un.
Lotus 7 and its heirs and descendents- because lightness is the soul of good engineering
Toyota Landcruiser- because it can go anywhere and is indestructible
Honda NSX – because it showed that anyone can drive a true supercar
Lancia Lambda- for showing that monocoque construction was a goer
Citroen Traction Avante- for proving front-wheel drive.
MG TC – for turning America on to sports cars
Toyota Prius – for being the first hybrid that people actually wanted to buy
My top 10 most important cars in history. What are yours? - Anything goes
