Arash AF10
\n<\/strong> Few of Arash Farboud\u2019s creations have yet to trouble the DVLA, but we hope his latest, \u00a3320,000 Vette V8-powered creation makes it to production<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

FBS Census
\n<\/strong> This odd-looking roadster rather boldly named itself the \u2018Future of British Sportscars\u2019. It stank of glue, broke down, and then sank without trace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Panther 6
\n<\/strong> Panther lurched from crisis to crisis for twenty years before succumbing to the inevitable. The Solo was quite good, the Panther 6 quite mad.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

TVR Cerbera Speed 12
\n<\/strong> The maddest product of TVR\u2019s nineties heyday under Peter Wheeler: 1000bhp, but only one made it to the road. Less than a decade later TVR was dead, but there are rumours of reincarnation<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Morgan Roadster
\n<\/strong> They\u2019ve been making cars from wattle and daub at a glacial rate in Pickersleigh Road, Malvern for a century now, so must be doing something right.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Caterham Seven
\n<\/strong> The design might be more than half a century old but it\u2019s simple to build and still a performance and handling benchmark; that\u2019s why Caterham is still in business.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Noble M12
\n<\/strong> Rave reviews weren\u2019t enough to guarantee a stable business. Despite the departure of the brillant but difficult Lee Noble, the firm is still around and working on a \u00a3200,000 supercar.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Ariel Atom
\n<\/strong> Brilliant design, stellar performance and long queues of buyers; this is how low-volume sports cars should be done<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Bristol Fighter
\n<\/strong> The anomaly of small British sports car firms: this bizarre, secretive, blue-blooded company makes outrageous cars at outrageous prices in tiny numbers with no publicity yet seems immune to the downturn<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Midas Gold
\n<\/strong> \u201cI couldn\u2019t do better than a Midas\u201d, said Gordon Murray of this Metro-based, plastic-bodied \u2018sports\u2019 car. That was before he created the McLaren F1. Wonder if he\u2019s changed his mind?<\/p>\n
