50 - Chrysler LeBaron
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/...27/mfcar10.jpgIncorporated a synthesised voicebox that reminded drivers to fasten seatbelts, stop at next burger drive-through etc etc. In short, an Austin Maestro for Americans.
49 - Renault Fuego
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/.../27/mfcar9.jpgA symphony in overhang. Post-1983 cars featured the world's first remote keyless ignition.
48 - Smart fortwo
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/.../27/mfcar8.jpg One reader reckons it looks like a vacuum cleaner attachment. Fair point, well made
47 - Ford Zephyr/Zodiac MkIV
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/.../27/mcar47.jpgIn the 1970s, everyone had a school friend whose dad owned one of these and drove it everywhere at 100mph-plus. This made Cortina owners' sons very jealous.
46 - BMW 6-series
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/.../27/mfcar6.jpgNot the gorgeous 635 CSi of the 1980s, obviously: you voted for the contemporary Banglemobile.
45 - Hillman Imp
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/.../27/mfcar5.jpgRootes' rear-engined Mini rival. Mostly assembled by Glaswegians who had been trained to build ships rather than cars – a detail that was sometimes obvious.
44 - Vauxhall Viva HA
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/.../27/mfcar4.jpgScience is powerless to explain why Airfix recreated one of these as a 1/32-scale slot racer.
43 - Jaguar XJ-S
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/.../27/mcar43.jpgSeamlessly elegant… but only from the tip of its bonnet to the B-pillar's leading edge. Cabriolet's proportions much better than those of the coupé.
42 - Tatra T603
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/.../27/mfcar2.jpgA magic carpet ride for Czechoslovakia's ruling classes from 1955-1975. Also exported to other Communist states: Fidel Castro ran one for a while.
41 - Cadillac Escalade
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/motoring/.../27/mfcar1.jpgJust say no.
