What was the best British car ever made.

[Ancient Citizen]

Loved that car after seeing Rodney Marsh drove one when he was at City, but it has to be the Land Rover Defender for me. I'd give my left nut to be able to import a new 2015 into the States, but no can do unless it is a very specific model, model year, and then fully updated to USA specs! Fucking joke, considering all the trucks on the road!

Defender 110 XS Station Wagon all day, every day.

That said, the Aston Martin DB5 could be the most beautiful car ever built. Saw one on the road in Tokyo last year and I simply looked at the driver, a mid-50s looking impeccably dressed man, nodded and gave him a thumbs up. He nodded and smiled back. Simple appreciation for class.

You'll need to be quick Defender production ends this year after 67 years in one guise or another end of an era they've been a great tool over the years.

I know, which is why it is a fading dream...unless TATA are ready to make a Global version for sale in the USA, which I highly doubt. The new concept is dire. I expect there to be a very strong resale market for the originals, but the 1993 90 & 1995 110 are the only ones allowed into the US. Land Rover originally only sold 500 110s in the US and they are all numbered. You can pick up a well maintained '95 D90, with about 30,000 miles for $71,000 (~50K quid!)...or I can buy a brand new 2015 for half of that in England!! Fucking mental!!

A bloke I know has a Defender that has been fully blinged up by Overfinch, it is absolutely stunning, has carbon fibre trim, bucket seats made out of the finest leather I've seen, chrome and steel everywhere. It also has a beefed up petrol engine, V8, which I think is 4.5 litre?
Goes like a scalded cock and must have cost him a fucking fortune. He is seriously minted and has also got the latest Ferrari, which he hardly uses, he prefers the Landy, and his Mrs, who looks like Farrah Fawcett in her heyday, ( he's got a face like a collapsed bait-box, but says she didn't marry him for money, yeah...right), has one of those Range Rover Evoque's,also blinged up like a Christmas tree.
