Best of lists are always tough. In this case, is it: most iconic, most effective, most influential? I feel this way about film lists, too. The most interesting conversation is not what is the best picture, but which & how parameters are weighted: novelty, craft, cultural zeitgeist, etc.
Well chief designer was a Brit but yes that is a fair point. I went with Concorde, rationalizing that the flag is more an evolutionary agglomeration than a conscious piece of design. It's a weak argument I know.
Hers is quite a story. I think my favorite part of it was when she refused to marry her future husband until he had also won an award for lapping Brooklands at over 100mph on a motorbike, something she had already achieved. (Another lovely detail is that she used her racing motorbike to cross the country from airbase to airbase installing her orifices on Spitfires.)
In this bracket my choice invariably comes down to the Spitfire versus the Mini, and I always favor the Spitfire, as the Mini reminds me of the terrible parking
I ended up with two bridges in the final which is quite strange for the owner of an IT firm, but I did study Civ Eng, 27 years ago.
> 64 icons. Six rounds. One winner.
The winner is Claude

Concorde vs. the Union Flag? In the round of 64? Bah. Impossible to continue.
EDIT Agh now Range Rover v Mini? What do you want from me!?
Voting for a anglo-FRENCH design above the union flag! No contest there (despite the Concorde being a great bit of kit).

Pretty cool, but it always ends on Spitfire vs Mini and I don't know how you decide.
I heard you can put a Merlin in a Mini if you remove the front seats
Spitfire or the Underground chart?
Wisdom says underground but the heart screams Spitfire.
UK road signs won for me. Something about the type-face, colours and design.
McLaren P1 should be on that list
Spitfire vs Concorde in my final, and Concorde won.
The winner is teapot. 2nd is mini skirt
Spitfire. All day every day. Just don't forget Miss Schilling's orifice.
