Well for me it has to be the Vanquish, coz I'm a huge fan of Ian Callum's design...and the sound of the V12 engine is excuisite (download the Top Gear review - "Ferrari 575M vs. Vanquish" to hear it). I think of it as a sporty gentlemen.

Uhm.. not really all of them could be classified as sportscars I fear... Vanquish and Continental are GTs..

My vote for the TVR

Yeah, I know. I used the term sportscars coz the specs where in my mind. Both go 0-60 in less than 5 secs, both pass the 300km/h barrier. [/u]

Where's the Noble M12 GTO? I would probably vote for that one. The Vanquish is the most beautiful, but the gearbox and weight keep me from putting it in the top spot. The DB9 with manual gearbox would be more likely to get my vote. In this poll I chose the TVR. Real driver's car with raw power. I'm not too fond of the looks though.

So, my personal best British sportscar's not in this poll.

Damn !! How could I be so stupid, forgetting to put the M12. Sorry about that, I agree that it should be up there

Man this is a hard choice, I rule out the Bentley because its fugly. The Jaguar has a good race history, as does the Aston Martin... But the TVR is fast as all hell, but its interior isnt for me, which leaves me with the Jag, and the Aston. The Aston weighs more than the jaguar doesnt it? but it has power to make up for that weight, but as of lately jaguar has been winning everything. Shit, i take both.

I am tempted by the TVR Tuscan R (it's the only real true British car, Aston and Jaguar belong to Ford and Bentley is VW property) but i really love the Aston Vanquish so .... Vanquish

Even though I'm a big fan of aston martin, I'll have to vote for the TVR. TT is right, aston and bentley are both GT cars.
