British or American?

["jpaulkelman" <Paul.KELMAN@xxxx>]

Hello all,

This is my first posting but I've followed the list for years.

I was at a car show last weekend in my home city Aberdeen, Scotland 
and there were a few American cars namely a Corvette, Trans Am's,
AMC Pacer and a few others. There was an empty space amongst these 
which was supposed to be filled by a Knight Rider replica car & I 
thought it would have been nice to see a Delorean in there.

Then I thought, is a DeLorean British or American? The company was 
funded by the British tax payer & built here but the DeLorean Motor 
Company was American wasn't it?

This is quite confusing. If I bought a Ford Fiesta. Is it British 
It's considered British because it's designed & build here
but Ford 
is American.

What about Jaguar and Aston Martin, Land Rover (including The Range 
Rover), Lotus?. The list goes on, all originally British & still
made 
here but are these all American cars now?

What about Amoco, it's owned by BP now. Are you buying British
fuel 
every time you fill up there?

What are your thoughts?

Also, the only DeLorean I've seen on the road was a couple of
years 
ago near Banchory. Is the owner on this list?
