I learned to drive in a Mini 1000, they were a street legal Go Kart !! SO much Fun !!

Our first family car was a 6 volt Volkswagen Beatle. My father found it was easy to start in frost or snow conditions.

"Dieselgate" fiasco had nothing to do with the Volkswagen type 1 Beetle. VW never sold the Beetle with anything other than an air cooled flat four engine, and never produced a diesel version of this powerplant. Beetle sales started going down in the 1970's due to Japanese competition, which is why Volkswagen designed the Golf line of cars.

Yeah, love both of my Mini Coopers. One vintage 74 and and a 2017. Also own a vintage Bug and a 2014.

This has been very interesting. My father had a Model T, I had (the LOVE of my life) Volkswagen Beatle. My cousin had the Fiat. I knew they were good authorities. 👍

If my memory serves me right, the Lada is a Fiat 124.

The Mini Cooper was a derivative of the original Mini (made as the Austin Seven and Morris Mini-Minor originally) as a result of the engineering prowess of John Cooper. Whilst Leonard Lord was the instigator of the competition, the engineering team you mention did not, I believe, involve Cooper originally, as he was a freelance.

[nathangarmon]

The type 1 was the beetle not the bus.

[leeiavarone]

the Lada Riva is actualy a fiat that was sold to Russia and rebuilt to how we see it today

[Bisonmsc]

As a past and current Mini and MINI owner, I agree with its placing 😊

[semiretired]

Leonard Lord had nothing to do with the Mini initially designed by Sir Alec Issigonis as far as I know Herbert Austin was still alive when the Mini launched in 1959

[ollivainikainen]

Morris and Austin Minis were the first ones. Cooper made some tuning stuff for them, years later.

I'm currently the proud and determined owner of a 60's vw type3 squareback. Unfortunately, her previous owner lived by a river and never maintained her, effectively leaving her to rust and rot away from the bottom up. My old man and I towed her home and started stripping her down to get ready for the repairs and sand blasting. Currently struggling with the removal of the driver side hinge window, which already broke 3 screwdrivers, and the passenger side door, on which the bolts won't come out.

The Chevy Bellaire, the Dodge power wagon.
There are many that should have made this list over a well couple of cars the majority of folks have never heard of.

[anastassiosperakis]

Great List. A few corrections-comments.

1. You said, with a straight face, that the Citroen 2CV was design so to go 130 KPH on a plowed field and not break a bunch of eggs. Give me a break!!!! The 2CV had such a TINY engine, it could barely go 60 KPH (40 MPH) on a HIGHWAY. The quote from Top Gear is "carry four people and 50kg of goods at 30mph, across muddy and unpaved roads if necessary"

2. The Lada, which I am very familiar with, my father bought one new and drove it for 15 years, was NOT an example of any... "Soviet ENgineering", you clueless person, it was a rebadged FIAT 125, (also available in Poland as the "Fiat Polski:, and it was an example of OBSOLETE 50s ITALIAN ENGINEERING.

3. If you include the Corolla. I would ALSO include the VW GOLF and even the Honda Civic.

The Hindustan Ambassador didn't sell well because it was necessarily a good car; it was more because it was one of the few cars even available in India for decades that was sort of affordable. People today might view it nostalgically, but a great many Indian citizens for a long time were sick of being denied more modern cars because of a restrictive government with outdated laws.

[LeagueofJay]

You should make more lego related videos, such as top 15 biggest lego sets, life size lego cars etc.

[vivekanandpattar]

GOOD AND BEST VIDEO. HINDUSTAN AMBASSADOR WAS A CAR WHICH WAS BORN IN INDIA. AND GROWN AND BECOME POPULAR IN INDIA. FROM POLITICIANS TO BUSINESSMEN TO TAXIWALLAHS. ITS A TESTIMONY OF BRITISH-ENGINEERING. IT HAS STURDY BUILT. FRENCH FIRM PSA GROUP BOUGHT IT IN 2017. AND WILL RE-INTRODUCE IT IN 2024.

[MrModeldad]

It would have been good to see the original Morris Minor, the Land Rover and the Trabant.
