Ginetta, esselle? LOL

I would have added Mini (now German), Bristol and TVR (now bust), MG (now Chinese)… The list goes on…. (Sigh)

Esselle, Has to be a Jensen Interceptor though the motor was from Chrysler. I think Bristols come a close second.
I thought S1 was winning but I have no idea what bumping and trolling are and being Australian we seem to lose most sporting contests lately. Sigh

Ah Pimms, that staple of Henley, Wimbledon and British embassy cocktail parties!

Italian actually Andrew. One has to recognise excellence 😉 Big, fat and juicy, hand picked from a friends garden!

Now you’re talking Esselle. But isn’t it Kuwaiti / Italian with a bit of German thrown in? Do Ford still have their 10%stake?

You’re forgetting the Armstrong Siddeley in the list Ian!

I think you might be right LP, and soon to have Mercedes engines.

Please, nobody mention British Leyland…………

The Robin Reliant was an iconic British car….

With Sch…. you know who – originally German – now under US Snapple ownership. BA have opted for a British supplier of Tonic (incidently the oldest soft drink in the world)

Cannot say I have ever heard of them.

Try Fever Tree once and you will never go back.

++++++

Yep, your perfect set of wheels 😉

[SimonS1]

I’d prefer a Trabant. Excellent economy.

[LuganoPirate]

Agree on fever Tree but a shame it can’t be bought here, though we do get it in South Africa.

Esselle, wash your mouth 😉 But i hate to say it but you’re right. Now where’s the soap!

the Reliant Robin, what an icon. Of course even better was the Reliant Scimitar which was driven by Princess Anne.

[Charles-P]

The Reliant Scimitar – V6 Ford Engine and Wolfrace wheels. Now there was glamour !

A drove a Trabant once just after the Wall came down, frighting to think this was a family car.

Clarkson, appropriately attired/protected takes a Robin for a slide and roll…..

BTW It was classified as a motorcycle for wheelie and driving licence purposes.. to get out of t’weather in winter.
