The Most Beautiful Car of All Time (Part 2)
Further to my previous post on ‘What’s the Most Beautiful Car of All Time?’, The (London) Telegraph has finally published the results of its survey. Click HERE to read, and view their Top 100.
It also asks for nominations for ‘The Ugliest Cars of All Time’, but I really don’t think I want to go there…
Oddly, the bottom end of their Top 100 ‘Most Beautiful’ seem to be in reverse alphabetical order, so I suspect a lot of lumping together rather than actual counting of votes.
Needless to say I am devastated and disappointed that NO HONDAS made it into the top 100! Pah! Or that Renault Floride.
And no vintage Bentley?? 
Still, it’s good to see many of the ones I fancied, including Facel Vega, Cord 810, and various iconic Aston Martins.
Plus the Lancia Stratos, a little gem I’d forgotten about.
And I was delighted to see the Citroen DS at No. 2 (The Telegraph comments: ‘Did we expect to find a family saloon breaking the sports car stranglehold at the top of the list? None bar this.’)
And at Number One… the E-type Jaguar! Of course. What else?

I think the most beautiful car is Ashton Martin that Bond uses in Casino Royale.
