Alaskossie Posted October 27, 2012 Share Posted October 27, 2012 The October 1212 issue of Car (UK) is the 50th-year anniversary issue, and is a hefty one at 274 pages. The editors asked the readers to vote their priorities among the best cars from the last 50 years, and the editors compiled their own list. The top car in both votes was the Porsche 911. But results deviated pretty widely after that. The Lotus/Caterham Seven was voted 45th best by the Car staff, but ranked 5th (tied with Jaguar E-type) with the readers. Conversely, the Lotus Elan was ranked 12th by the Car editors, but only rated 49th among the readers. The Lotus Elise ranked 17th among the editors, and 26th by the readers -- a little more consistency there. Regarding the Seven, I'll go with the readers. Attached is the Seven write-up. The magazine's biggest logistical feat was gathering an example of each of the 50 best cars (including Veyron, Ferrari GTO, Miura, and Lancia Stratos) in one place at one time, for a poster shot. That took a bit of work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
