Well, the M41 had some sort of accolade as Britain's shortest
motorway.

It never was...

at 0.7 miles long, it was a positive giant compared to, for example, the
0.5 mile long former A46(M) and A36(M), and was clearly longer than the
still extant A308(M).

The shortest motorway in the country seems to be the A635(M) in
Manchester. A motorway for a whole 300m.

But they were all motorway-class A roads, not true motorways!

They are all "special roads" under the 1954? act. They are motorways by
virtue of being designated as such.

So - regardless of their alpha-numeric designation, they are motorways.

Would you even try to suggest that the A74(M) isn't a motorway?
