Surely you mean the original Mini Cooper S. The 1275 GT was a detuned minger. :)

Depends I suppose on what criteria is used to decide what is "Best",however as it won't let me see the list I can't say which-if any-I agree with.

To be fair, it's a list of 100 most culturally significant cars, not the 'best'... ;)

The 2CV is a notable absence, also has a very European take as things like the El Camino, Chevy Bel Air, Holden Ute and Ford V8 flat head...

There's a Jensen Interceptor but no FF .....  ???
They showed a DS but a later 21/23 and not the early 19 which was far 'prettier'
