QUOTE The Mini: I never thought of that one but you are right it was (and still is) definitely an iconic car and design concept.

and have you noticed how the image of the new Mini crops up everywhere? It seems the Icon of the original has been also been updated to match the reincarnation. There are three images on the front of "Merde Actually"; one of which is the front of a Cooper S (the BMW version).

I may sensitised to recognising it because I drive a One D, but it does seem to get everywhere....

QUOTE one transport icon that hasn't been mentioned is the ford transit

It's in post 3 actually but there's no harm in mentioning it again. It changed the face of the small goods transport.

It seems Royal Mail are introducing an "Icons" set of stamps next month (that's January) and two of them will be Concorde and the Mini (lower case means the Issigonis version).
