i love british cars, but if i had to narrow it down, i'd love a noble ( M10 or M12 GTO) or a TVR sagaris or typhon or a bonkers ariel atom, what do you think?

TVR Cerbera, with the AJP V8. Probably Atlantis Halcyon blue with Portland Grey and Prussian Blue interior, running on the 17" Speedline RL7s and the original single headlamp set up. Or something like that.

Best ever?? Difficult one. Twin Supercharged Aston Martin V8 Vantage for me.



Lister and V8 TVR Cerbera would be in the running's too.






Esprit V8 and AC Cobra 212s/c are pretty special too as is an Ultima GTR.

Also keen on these:

How are we defining British?

The F1 seems the obvious choice, but it's got a German engine smile

Me - I'd pick the XJ13 - it's even green!

It's got German wing mirrors too wink

I'd say it's "British" is the design and build team is predominantly british. Aston Martin's too have German built engines iirc, with the rest being done in Gaydon. German heart but still overwhelmingly British cars.

I love TVRs. I hope one day someone takes it off smolensky's hands. Tuscan S is my fav British supercar in the chameleon orange/blueish/purple color. Saw the exact one in the RR plant yesterday in Sunday service.
