My vote goes to the mini
...well, I cant have seasider thinking he's driving the Best British car, now can we! 
Sorry guys & gals... had to give my vote to the Blower Bentley. 
Edited to add: Very few other cars they'll still be making TV programs about 80 years after they were launched. And very few other cars that epitomise British racing in such a way.

Well i looked at the list and immediately realised it was going to come down to a 3 way shootout between E-type, Macca F1 and the Grif. Lets face it, in a rational world the F1 walks away it, but this aint a rational world and I took a 1/2 day of work today just to go hooning around kent in the Grif...so i voted with the heart

Well I just voted for the Lotus 7
i thought you liked caterhams
A Caterham 7 IS a Lotus 7! Not a 7 replica like a Wesfield / Tiger etc etc
Caterham Cars were the sole outlet for the Lotus 7 and when the Lotus 7 was discontinued in 197whatever, Caterham cars bought the official rights to carry on manufacturing the 7...
Each Caterham 7 that comes out is in effect the latest official Lotus 7
But I'm sure you allready knew that and are on the wind up
But since its not made by Lotus then its either a Caterham 7 or a replica of a Lotus 7.
What does it matter that Westfields aren't Lotus 7s anyway? Lotus 7s are crap in comparison (due to the fact they are 40 years older).

What does that tell you about how good the 7 was, is and always will be!
Feck all!
Feck all to do with this conversation anyway, its still a replica!
Plus, there isn't a "Caterham" in the greatest British cars list so they must have done a crap job since they took over from Lotus.
so ner ner na ner ner

Whats with all the Fords? Aren't they an American company?
Its obviously going to be the Mac F1.
What would you most like to see in the special 2005 show; An Autin 7, a Morris Minor, or the greatest car ever?!
Exactly. So vote the Griff. Just think what it'll do for your residuals!

Despite the Griff being a great car and design..I would be very surprised if it didn't go to either the McLaren or the Mini.. there are few cars that stirred the soul quite like either one of them.. although to help MrMaggit in his future sale I was faithful to the marque
There won't be a future sale of our Griff, but thanks anyway
