    A poll by Classic & Sportscar magazine to settle automotive arguments has been held in 66 countries over the last six months.
    The short list of ten finalists of which the LOTUS 7 was one included the original Mini Cooper S, original Range Rover, RR Silver Ghost, Austin 7 & Ford GT40.
    It is nice to see that after some 58 years our little car is still remembered around the world for its design statement.
    The outright winner was the E-type Jaguar.
