Not Ranked
While some may have "survived" there far from "thriving", and their "presence" in the USA is tiny (if that big).
I haven't seen any new MG's, for instance for a very long time. The word "Morgan" for me conjurs up a very old sports car with a wooden frame, ha ha. I don't currently know anyone who drives a new "Bristol". I did see a fairly new Maserati the other day (their kind of ugly I think, not at all like the old days).
TVR is a cool car, somehow they managed to hang on over the years, but it's not like their burning up the market. Austin Healeys are still being built, fiberglass V-8's, I don't think there "real" (uh oh, theres THAT word again). LOL
All though AC is still "alive" I think it's been on life support for a very long time. Without the Shelby connection I do believe someone would have pulled the plug a long time ago. But one way or the other it really doesn't matter that much to me who survived or who didn't, thats life. Business' come and go, always have, always will.
