cavallino 2 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 nice car, doesn't look like the V6 though nice to ferry kids in There's only 1 problem with that, Ecap, it's French!! You could have got a proper car for the same money Indeed you could have got a British car, like the city rover. I believe the tatas would already be there Oh I forgot all British car companies have sold out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The second part of your statement is not true, although the companies in question are small, specialist manufacturers, such as Bristol and Morgan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cavallino 2 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 The second part of your statement is not true, although the companies in question are small, specialist manufacturers, such as Bristol and Morgan. Lets not redefine the term car shall we I don't think the city rover would still be sold considering that the company has closed down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cavallino 2 Report post Posted February 1, 2006 Are you implying that the bristol is not a car? The cars have only ever been made in very small numbers; about 150 per year, although the company have long refused to disclose production numbers and the current production (in 2004) is probably much less than this figure. even the ambassador sells more Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was pretty awful when it was a Morris. (My Grandad drove one) You are right though that the UK industry is useless at managing a mass production car company. That's why they've all gone bust or been taken over. But we're very good indeed at producing niche models. (With a few exceptions, such as AC) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
