Most Beautiful British-made Cars 2011 – 2012

The Range Rover Evoque is a genuine reason to feel proud of the British car industry. And forget cynics who argue ‘yes, but it’s all owned by foreigners’ – the Evoque is designed and built with British talent.

And it’s just one of many brilliant cars made in the UK. Indeed, it’s a real renaissance of great British-built cars at the moment. The Evoque has all the signs of being a great British success story with rave reviews all-round. Concept car looks and beautiful attention detail mean the baby Rangey really stands out.
