[wetandwindy2]

what if any cars can you say is made in britain ,i know morgan is a british car but are there any more

JLR products and Aston Martin, local one for us Southerners, Aerial (atom), Mc Laren...

[MexInTheForest]

Only Caterham, Bristol and McLaren along with Morgan that are Brit owned....I think.

Then there's Ford, Vauxhall, Mini, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, LandRover, Jaguar, Lotus, Aston Martin, Bentley and Rolls Royce that are made here but owned overseas...maybe MG as well, not sure if they are making anything yet.

Marcos comes and goes, as does Ginetta.....I'm sure there are a few more specials out there.

what about reliant?

Most F1 cars, if they count.

Cottage industry car makers like Noble, Daventry still exist, shame about TVR though.

Ford are about to cease production and isn't a British company, it never was...

Vauxhall was acquired by General Motors in 1925.

Jaguar, Lotus, Aston Martin, Bentley, Rolls Royce and Lotus are also foreign owned but are British car manufacturers that make and engineer cars in the UK. They just happen to be owned by a foreign company.

Mini, Honda, Toyota and Nissan are neither British nor owned by a UK company.

You don't mention Mc Laren (being a cottage industry), but with the launch of the latest model they are going to take on Porsche et al and plan to flog a lot of units, not the exotica of yesteryear.

It will be interesting to see if Mc Laren can knock Porsche off its perch, mind you it won't be easy what with Angie Merkel making policy for German motor manufacturers at the EU and the fact that Porsche has a "big brother", VW to come along and bloody Mc Laren's nose for it...
