Hi Colin,
Frazer Nash...built in Kingston
AC...built in Thames Ditton (where I used to live, and could see the factory grounds, latterly built over with appalling modern housing).
Also HRG...built in Tolworth
British Salmson...I believe built in Raynes Park
I think there is a perception that cars were only built in the Midlands...sad to think that there was actually quite a spread of motor manufacturing in the South East, now just a fading memory.
Post war you could point to racing car manufacture...Cooper in Surbiton, Connaught at Send, near Woking...talking of which, McClaren is at Woking so there is some link there!
