Define "British".
Jaguar and Land Rover are owned by India's Tata Steel, but design, develop and build all their cars in the UK. They have in fact just finished building a massive new engine plant near Telford.
Toyota has a factory at Burnaston near Derby building the Avensis and Auris.
Vauxhall still build Astras at Ellesmere Port
Nissan has its plant at Sunderland, which makes half a million cars a year
Bentley, despite being VW owned, still builds its cars in Crewe
Honda has a factory in Swindon building the Civic and CR-V
So we still make a fair few cars, including many that actually sell!
