I'd expand #3 to include all A-H Sprites / MG Midgets (a.k.a. Spridgets) The Frogeyes were cute, but I really like having a 1275 instead of the earlier 948 cc engine. The roll up windows, boot lid and improved top are nice, too.  :good:

I'd take the Jag too, but probably would only ever be able to afford the Mazda...  :( :(

I'll take the E-Type, but why no mention of the Austin Healey 3000, I'd love one.

Not that it's mentioned, however I drive a BMW Z3 2.8 on my days off...
The lead car is unique, except for the one behind it which is identical.

I'd throw in the 1955-57 Thunderbird, especially the 1957 F model with a supercharged 312 Y-block.

I find it hard to accept the Jeep Wrangler as one of the best rag-tops of all time.
I know it is very British and I accept that as a TVR owner I am biased, but I would suggest the TVR Tuscan.

For me it would be the Triumph Vitesse, but it has to be the 2 litre Mk2 version - like this:-
