Owned mk1 cavalier, manta 1.9sr berlinetta, 66 viscount, various Carlton and senators and a brace of more modern cavaliers and calibra. Used to be partial to an old Vauxhall . Had a lovely weekend low mileage kadett rwd too.

Despite all the Vauxhall talk I only ever had two, both company cars and separated by quite a few years, a Senator 3.0 and a Signum 3.0 CDTi.

I really rated the senators, oh, has two v6 omega 2.5 manuals too, lovely comfy old buses with surprisingly able chassis

I may be going mad but I’m sure the volvos when I was a kid in the 70’s had stickers about being British car ( because of the amount of bits imported from the uk)

Jaguar?
Land Rover? I can't believe that they haven't been mentioned before now as either British, or not British (because they're Indian-owned). I can tell you that most of their vehicles are British-designed and British-made and that they have British engines made in a British factory. And if someone offered me an F-Pace or Velar or XF Sportbrake I wouldn't turn them down. |
