“This was a really fun survey to conduct and it was great to sift through the answers to find out the top ten most iconic vehicles; there are some great entries, from childhood nostalgia through to cars we wouldn’t mind having in our own garage – and a few that tick both those boxes!”

 

He continued:

 

“With the Coca-cola trucks coming to towns around the UK very soon, we will get the chance to see the UK’s most iconic vehicle in real life! As a nation, we are clearly getting into the festive spirit early this year, especially those with Santa’s sleigh on their minds!”
