The 25 Best Cars Of The 1960s

A Decade Filled With Gorgeous Cars

When you think of the 1960s, which car comes to mind? Is it James Bond's Aston Martin or the extremely popular Mini? Or perhaps the Mercedes Benz 600?

Here are the 25 best cars from the 1960s.

Jaguar E-Type

The Jaguar E-Type was one of the most gorgeous vehicles of the 1960s. It had its grand reveal at the 1961 Geneva Motor Show, claiming to reach speeds of 150 mph.

BMC Mini

Though its birth year was technically 1059, the British Motor Corporation Mini ultimately became associated with the 1960s.

After the Suez Crisis, bubble cars and 1.0 litre cars became all the rage. Alec Issignonis became responsible for creating what the BMC chief called a "proper small car." The Mini quickly became BMC's best-selling model.

Rover P6

The Rover P6 won the European Car of the Year award in 1964, even surpassing the Mercedez-Benz 600. Its fresh styling was in opposition to the very conservative look of the P4.

In 1968, the implementation of the 3500 V8 helped enhance the P6's performance.

MGB

Compared to the MGA, the MGB was just better in every way. Not only was it more powerful, but it also offered more space and higher speed. Globally, it became the best-selling sports car.

Some of its commendable features included front disc brakes, rear-wheel drive, and an excellent suspension system.
