My point was that most people today do not "brand" a car as being british
because cars not advertised as such. The mini being the best known cars are
linked with a german car company.
So I guess recognizing our cars as a MG could be worse. That said I knew a
guy whose license plate said
Not a MG.
Cheers.
Btw I am home from scout camp, but will be spending the next three days
helping older son with eagle project.contact I then to fix my desktop co.per,
then I can scan the du fuel pump article to get out to folks by next

IMHO, it's not who owns the car company, it's where it's built (and the
year) that gives the car its special feel (good or bad).
My '97 DB7 may have been owned by Ford but it was built (400hrs) in England
like my '67 BJ8 (clearly not 400hrs).

You all seemed to of forgot some of the oldest still British owned: Morgan,
Caterham, Noble, Ultima, and Westfield.
And dont forgoet companies such as Mclaren are part owned by some Brits (Ron
Dennis).
