Gee, that's quite an impressive list you've presented freeway, but in answer to your question, if I had to choose a winner of a Car of the Year from that lot, I would have to say the Land Rover. Given the dire situation Great Britain found itself in immediately after the war, with its economy on its knees and much of its manufacturing base in tatters, the Land Rover released in 1948 was designed with high volume, multi-purpose world export demand in mind and much-needed foreign exchange to get GB's economy firing. It was definitely THE car for its time in my eyes.
