About This Quiz

Some of the world's best cars and car manufacturers are found in Great Britain and as of 2014, there are still over 30 active British car manufacturers. Some of these include the Aston Martin DB5, the Land Rover Defender, the McLaren F1, the Ford GT40 and the Caterham/ Lotus Seven. While many of them may not have been mass produced, and while some of them may have exceeded $2 million in cost, they were still iconic cars, making them very important to Britain's automotive history.

Many of these cars were featured in magazines, on television shows and in blockbuster movies motivating these companies to produce more cars of even better quality with an increased price point to match.
