  1. Nah. Historically (from the early 1900's until the late-1980's) the national UK car make was Austin . Since then; Jaguar & Land Rover have been the most relevant, as unlike Aston Martin Jag' & Landie are volume car makes. Vauxhall ceased to be relevant at all when Opel took over all Car R&D (another dumb GM penny pinch), and Ford UK similarly got diluted into irrelevance as Ford R&D and production was increasingly outsourced. So~ yeah; Jaguar-Land Rover is the one, as they're a UK based volume manufacturer that does all the R&D and production here (more or less). Tata may own them, but the indians seem to have learned the hard won lesson that Honda, Peugeot, GM, Chrysler & Ford never did: let Brit's do what they do best; don't limit them to rebadging foriegn tin.
