There was once a time when Brits would treat anyone who bought a foreign car with suspicion.

The result is that barely any new cars are entirely British-made , and the ones that are were often designed elsewhere in the world. Fortunately, those who want to experience a car that is truly from the UK can still buy one of the many small-scale sportscar manufacturers.
