I can remember my dad owning a Moris Minor in my youth. It was simplicity itself. It was the very first car I ever drove. I believe it had a 1,100 cc engine. Sheesh, my later Harley had a bigger engine. Body was built like a tank.
For me, the one stand out Brit car, is questionably the e-type jag. From front to rear, not a line out of place. For it's time, it packed a wallop, 265 hp.

no Brit-bashing when it comes to cars, please!
Of the 4 "iconic" cars that started "private mobility" after the War
VW beetle in Germany
2CV in France
"Mini" in the UK
Fiat 500 in Italy
the mini was lightyears ahead of the others, absolute lightyears! Just think of the transversally mounted engine! Groundbreaking!

wrench = spanner...
ride on left side of road = ride on right side or road
