Don't forget Caterham, Westfield, Marcos, Noble and Ariel. I belive these are all still British, although very small and catering for sports car nuts only.
I've long been a Lotus fan but they are owned by Proton these days, the same guys who now own Kenny Roberts Moto GP team.
TVRs are like Guzzis- unique with lots of character but loads of faults and niggles in comparison to say, a Porsche.

I like the way Guzzi bodged the relays by fitted siemens units- obviously a temporary measure!

My weird thing is that whatever bike I am riding, I always keep checking to make sure the choke / enrichener lever is fully closed. I do this several times on each journey.
Luggage paranoia is another one- looking at the shadow behind me on the road surface as I am riding to see what is flapping loose or falling off, even though I know its all very secure.

I remember the days when the internet was for looking at pictures of saucy ladies rather than surfing for photos of rare motorbikes.
How things change!

Spot on mate.
I saw Paul Lewis race that Daytona at Thruxton in the pissing rain about 7 or 8 years ago and he was absolutely awesome- I am sure the fact he only weighed about 8 stone must have helped his power to weight ratio!

Hmmmm..maybe you need a clue!
The Guzzi rider used to race in 500GP in the 1980s.
The Duke rider used to race a Guzzi as well.

A Brazilian is a style of bikini line waxing- just think of a tiny "Hitler Moustache" above a ladies front bottom.
Called a Brazilian I believe because it originated from Rio where the swimwear for ladies is minimal and they do not want any spider's legs sticking out.
Apparently the girls have to get on all fours in the beauty parlour to get it finished off properly.
<_>

I know what a "Brazilian" is!
-
No points for guessing what the bikes are!
Who is the rider on the 900SS and who is chasing him down on the Guzzi?

Well done Jaap- it is indeed a Rover!!

Ok- another clue- the engines that are normally used in this brand's cars are very popular with kit car builders because of the light aluminium blocks.
-
Not FN I am afraid.
The brand is more famous for making crappy cars.

Yes it seems that the UK is no longer a manufacturing country- more of a technology base. Much cheaper to build it elsewhere.
Ariel make a car called an Atom- absolutely no bodywork and you have to wear waterproofs and a helemet.
May as well ride a bike when it gets to that stage!
