If you exclude own kit assemblers like Caterham , Westfield, then you will be struggling to find more than a very small handfull.

Basically manufacturing in general has been in decline for years in this country. Having worked in the aerospace game for 8 years I have seen so much manufacturing moved to the far east and china etc obviously this also applies to automotive and every other sector of manufacturing.
All very sad, soon we will be a service country as the only thing that generates hard cash for a country is manufacturing (i.e making things and selling them to other countries) and if we dont do that all we have is north sea oil to generate cash, as we know that wont last for ever.
We are living on credit
Im gonna move somewhere else soon (rant over
