Yahoo! Cars has come over all patriotic this week in the search for some iconic British cars. We've been scanning the classifieds, checking our bank balances (and in some cases clearing the garage and readying our tools). Actually, only nine of them are i
Newf, I'm a little surprised you would post this, cause all it really does it demonstrate the complete destruction of the British Car Industry, and also the looming end of British Manufacturing..
Not something to be promoted.
So here goes:
Mini -- owned by BMW
R.R. -- Tata
MG -- some Chinese company, not sure which.. but car is NOT British.. at all
Lotus -- Proton in Malaysia.. and that car is ugly
Jensen -- bankrupt
Jaguar -- Tata
Ford never was British..sorry
It's like trying to say Vauxhall is British.
Lotus -- Proton again
Rolls -- owned by BMW
Now Mclaren is a British company, but they arent really in the business of making road cars.
They mixed up truely iconic cars like the E type with modern crap. The iconic cars are all the older models, not the new stuff. Owning a BMW mini might be fashionable, but you're not owning an icon.
The one car company that I can think of is Morgan - there's an iconic car for you. Probably some other smaller manufacturers that I don't know about.
I've been waiting for a month now to see what they're going to list it at, cause if I could afford the gas for that massive 6.75 Litre Turbo I'd have seriously thought about buying it.

Nice huh?
A guy could sell his house and live in the backseat in complete state of luxury.

I love Bently's. Completely impractical, but I still love them. I have a friend who has been tossing between an older Bently or an older Rolls.
I just curse his indecisiveness, if he could afford either, PICK ONE!
For me it's the Bentley. I watched the documentary on the building of a Bentley and from that moment on my mind was made up. Hell even the hand painted pinstripping is an excess.

A rather depressing list of what was.
sorry.
I'm more into bikes anyway!
