Earlier this year, Honest John Classics teamed up with Carole Nash to quiz you – the readers of Honest John Classics – about the old cars you love the most.
Voters chose from a list of 10 vintage cars from four different nations, highlighting the iconic models to come from each country.
Top of the pops for British-built cars was the Jaguar E-Type with 29% of the vote – quite a surprise when pitted against the Mini.
For Japanese design, the Datsun 240Z took just over 18% of the votes, narrowly beating the Mazda MX-5 with it’s sleek, sporty shape which redefined sports cars of the era.
While Audi’s redefining moment of car design, the Quattro, took 24% of the votes for Germany.
And the Fiat 500 took top spot in our poll of Italian classics. With a production run spanning nearly 20 years and a modern version proving popular with car buyers, it’s easy to understand why people have an affinity to this compact, practical Italian classic.
Now you know which models won the polls, head over to this website to download posters of the winners.
Take a look at the posters created in homage to the winning cars’ design roots on the blog post.
