I am putting together a "directory" of British cars. I am concentrating on
all "production" vehicles between ~1955 -> ~1980. For each manufacturer I
will list all the models produced including, dates, body type, doors/seating
engine size/configuration, 0-60, top speed and weight.
Ultimately this directory will reside on "hoosier"
I put the word production in quotes because I can not come up with a good
definition for what production means. As an example Marcos started off as
a "kit-car" manufacturer, then sold kits along-side fully assembled cars, and
has only recently stopped selling kit cars. This has happened to other
manufacturers such as Lotus, TVR, etc. I have purposely left out true
"kit-car" manufacturers, such as Dutton, NG and a host of others.
So far I have come up with the following list of manufacturers and I am sure
that I have missed some. If you spot any omissions, please send
me email.
