Very true Stamford ! The Noble may be a British engineering project but it is made in South Africa and has a Ford engine - Ford's American but the engine (ST220 3 litre V6) was actually designed by Porsche ! So what nationality does that make the Noble ?! Mixed identity !

Range Rover is German owned and has a German engine. Its German then !

Aston again has a Ford Engine - in effect 2 ST220 units welded end to end ! Was American owned too. But it's still assembled in Britain and the engine was (re)enginered in Britain. Anglo-American then !

And then we come to old faithful - the ZS ! Based upon an ageing Japanese hatchback, at least the 4 door saloon is unique to the British industry ! British engine that's for sure, British assembled, British interior and most of it's components too. It's British alright - but more so the 4 door !!
