Hi
A friend has prompted this question.
What car manufacturers are there which are still British owned and building cars in Britain?

My first thoughts are Morgan and Bristol.

Not considering any of the Multi-Nationals, like Ford, even if they have separate stock market presences.

Just a few years ago it would have been Reliant as most other small manufactures bought in engines/gearboxes from foreign owned companies.

Hi
Thanks fort those so far.
Even Bristol buy in engines and gearboxes (V8 and V10) but that isn't quite the same as being foreign owned.
