I think it was Mr Honda that said (paraphrasing) that one day there would only be 5 car manufacturers in the world, but one of them would be Morgan :-)

Are you sure you would Alan? An Italian car with a BMW engine?

Technically they are British but have been Italian owned for about 18 months. I know the French, specifically Renault, have all but murdered Nissan and Mitsubishi, not to mention Vauxhall cars (now owned by Fiat) so it doesn't bode well for Morgan.
As far as i know, TVR are still independent (but feel free to correct me if that's wrong!) so are the only true British manufacturer left.
