FIRST REPORT Ginetta is an established race car company, but how will its competition know-how translate to the road? We've got six months to find out. Small British car manufacturers.

Ariel, Caterham, Westfield and Morgan all have ever-expanding ambitions abroad, as well as in the UK, and are generally proving that Britain can make some outstanding and original cars.
