The dialog that ensues on the marque specific sub-forums here usually helps identify the British cars that are currently owned by fellow forum members. Other than the obvious, I sometimes wonder what British cars you all own, and I thought it would be interesting to find out. Given that, and if you are care to, please list and/or show your currently owned British cars.

Mine are:
'98 Rover Mini Cooper Si
'68 Austin Mini
'66 Austin Mini Moke
'60 AH Bugeye Sprite

I've been driving Triumphs since 1966. Currently it's these two. Found the '68 GT6 in '83 on a Dodge dealer's used car lot and was approached about and purchased the 4A in 2000.

My current 2: 1970 MGB, 1966 Morris Minor. Bought the MGB (the first time) in 2011, and the Morris in 2015.

J-P - I think the photo of your Austin is a great example of "four flat tires"!

I know the first one isn't British, but it's cool.

More likely 'ran when parked.'

BTW this is the entire Austin 7 (with an extra engine and wheels and other stuff) in my Brother in law's Mini van :D

I didn't realize that IKEA sold flat-pack cars. Learn something every day. šŸ˜„
 
Over the years, I've had the following:

1966 Spitfire Mk.2 (purchased in 1972)
1962 TR3B (purchased in 1977)
1957 TR3 (purchased in 2017)

I currently own:
1962 TR4 (purchased in 2021)
1970 TR6 (purchased in 2023)

And, while not British, I have a German "cousin":
2013 Porsche Boxster S (purchased in 2024)

This might be sacrilege, but I am not sure I'll be getting another LBC after buying the Miata. It has pretty much everything I could want, and nothing I don't.
 
I feel the same way about the Porsche. If fulfills my wants in a sports car with lots of creature comforts to allow it to be a daily driver. After driving it, the TRs seem ā€œprimitiveā€, which is OK in itself, but not conducive to driving long distances or in many weather conditions (plus, I have that winter luxury of luxuries: a heated steering wheel!)
