Hmm,
When you ask that question its is interesting to note that many good designs are british based. The adoption of monococque construction in popular production sportscars was BMC although I think the Jaguar D Type was first for competition cars.
But as to best designed car? It really depends on your perception, what about the Merc 300SL? Gullwing doors, great engine and a fantastic (so I'm told) driving experience. Or indeed the De Lorean, for its use of stainless steel in its design?
I guess the point is, are you looking at innovation (such as the Mini) or looks and fun?
