Need to add "Lotus" here!
Heard a Brit talking on a car show program once say that the reason that Lotus went bankrupt periodically was that....
LOTUS = Lots Of Trouble, Usually Serious!
Never owned one - but they do spend most of the time in the shop....British engineering. "Well, they got the Spitfire right". Yea, but that was 60 years ago!

Here's the car I'd love most to own - if a) I could be sure they're putting it into production, and b) I could afford to pay $200,000 for the beastie...this, believe it or not, is a new model Packard sedan, called the Packard Twelve (yep, it's a 12-cylinder engine - the original Packard company experimented with a 12 in the late 1930s, in a beautiful touring car)...a new concern in Arizona bought up the Packard marque and trademarks and associated rights and began to design and build this car in 1999

Here's a crate I haven't seen mentioned yet, unless I missed someone mentioning it, too, would withstand the detest of time: the AMC Javelin.

What are the 3 headlight positions on British cars?
Off, dim and flicker....
