Good point, though…which is why this is now in Bully’s Bar!!! :grimacing:

Correct me if im wrong but werent or arent TVR the last British owned car company in Britain?.

Next time I see Dave posing with his TVR, I’ll tell him it’s a Lada. He’ll be well chuffed with that :laughing: .

noble are british owned,but the cars are assembled in africa

Lada’s are brillianyt motors, I had 2 of them, one estate, one saloon, both of them cost me 975 quid, for the 2, and lasted 8 years between them with good hidings galore, and no trouble, and virtually no money spent on them! I cried a bucket when the berlin wall came down :laughing: :laughing:

I nearly bought a Lade Niva once the 4 wheel drive apparently they can take quite a lot of abuse before falling apart, bu tinstead i opted for the customary Land Rover when i went through my 4wd phase, i wish i hadnt bothered when they said it would go through water they didnt explain how deep!!! :blush: :unamused: .

Cost me £600 to have the engine rebuilt.

Well Jammy, if the ones I had were anything to go by, you cant kille em! I used to do a lot of river fishing, that meant rough potholed tracks and feilds, mostly mud, to park in, i used the tharsh the ■■■■■ out of them and still they passed MOT’s

Not huge manufacturers I know, but what about Caterham?

What about Morgan? Are they foreign-owned aswell?
