If you ask people to named the most “iconic” British car, they’ll most likely say something like an E-Type Jag, and Aston DB5, a Mini, maybe a Lotus Esprit, or a Land Rover, or even possibly a Rolls Royce.

And they will be wrong. There is only one car that fits the definition. Millions of drivers see one every day, and don’t realise it. There aren’t that many on the roads these days, but there are thousands near the roads.

Oh, here we go again…

So, its Rock Festival season again, and because I’m too useless to own a functioning vehicle and as my Rock-Buddy doesn’t want her precious 3 Series bogged axle deep in a morass of mud, piss and stale Tuborg, its time to hire a car.

Great, someone else with opinions about cars
