As for the model I have no clue at all!
Yes, Vauxhall's fine; my post was a bit confusing. It's the others which don't qualify on the acceleration front.

Don't think Corsas are built in the UK, mostly Spain I believe. Only Astras and vans built in UK

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?

The list you linked was-
"List of car manufacturers of the United Kingdom"
It doesn't say
List of English owned car manufacturers in UK
so being strictly correct to the word the answer was still "no" when you first asked
Last time I looked Mini wasn't British either!!
