British Car Songs?

[bcliff]

I was loading up my mp3 player the other night, and had to include "MGB-GT" and "1952 Vincent Black Lightning", both by Richard Thompson. It got me to wondering what other british car songs are available. Of course there are plenty of american car songs that run the horsepower gamut from Nash Rambler to GTO. It seems like there was mention of an XKE in "Deadman's Curve" by Jan and Dean. And a song about a "Little Cobra".
Are there any Triumph car songs?
SO........what do you have?
(By the way, I was VERY young when I heard some of those songs)

TR3-A. Found on the CD "Hendrix meets the Beach Boys" by Garajh Mahal. Contact TRF or maybe ebay for a copy. The song starts out with the a TR3 starting out and going through the gears. I believe it is the lead singer's car that was recorded.
A must for top down driving.

There are some LBC related songs here by the Spinal Tappets...

The song "Red Barchetta" by Rush is usually assumed to be about a Ferrari, but it's actually based on a short story about an MGB.

Didn't the Village People do a song called "White M_G_A"? /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Bruce, I'm a bit fermiliar with Richard Thompson. "1952 Vincent Black Lightning" is one of my favorites. I do that one at campouts, of course my version is closer to the cover that Del McCoury did of it. I've never heard MGB-GT. Is that on the "Rumor and Sigh" album? I have to go looking for it now.
I do have the Spinal Tappits songs saved. I believe thay got the words for "TR Man" right out of my diary! I about fell over laughing at that one.
