      It's a bit like wanting an Aston Marin, but buying a Jag. An Indian Jag. That's just not British.

        Aston Martin is recalling most of its sports cars built since late 2007 after discovering a problem with a part supplied by a Chinese subcontractor

          Flocking outrageous. Hand built in England it's says. Peal it off and underneath it reads 'Made in China'

              Quantity is not quality.

                indeed so Germany famous for pioneering cars comes below Italy in supercars.

                Scotland famous for whisky is now losing out to Japan etc on Whisky.

                    plenty of premium cars use parts from around the world. Its the skill in selecting, specifying & assembling the parts you are paying for not where the metal was cast.
