With the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee happening over this extended bank holiday – from Thursday 2 to Sunday 5 June – there’s never been a better time than now than to look at some of the best British cars out there.
Yes, it is sadly true that a lot of the larger car manufacturers with rich British roots are no longer British-owned, but it is also true that a lot of them are still crafted and assembled here in good old blighty. Take a look at Jaguar and the iconically British Land Rover for example – although founded and manufactured in England, they are actually a subsidiary and headed by Indian Tata Motors. Quite a few overseas car companies use UK plants for making their vehicles, so you’ll also find a few foreign manufacturers on the list.
MINI HATCHBACK
Let’s kick things off with perhaps the most iconic car on today’s list, the amazing Mini Hatchback. Made in Cowley, Oxfordshire, the Mini Hatchback is perfect for those looking for a fun drive – it almost has a go-kart feel to it when driving around tight corners.

LAND ROVER DISCOVERY
If you’re looking for a premium SUV that screams British, then the Land Rover Discovery should be considered. Made in Halewood, Liverpool, the Land Rover Discovery is a bit of jack of all trades – so, whether you’re cruising down the motor or taking it off-road, you’re in safe hands all the way.

JAGUAR F-TYPE COUPE
Made in Castle Bromwich, Birmingham, the Jaguar F-Type coupe is one of the best designed British cars money can currently buy. Stunning to look at, both inside and out, the F-Type is one of the best motoring experiences you can have.
HONDA CIVIC
If you’re wondering how the Japanese giant has made it on the list of best British cars, wonder no more – Honda has in fact been making cars in the UK for decades now.
