British Custom style

I'm not going to post a picture of that barn find Marina !!

thank goodness... my eyes have only just stopped bleeding!

But I think that Marina was inspired by American culture, like 70s custom vans.... or am I wrong?

I think that was inspired by very strong hallucinogenics.....

I was going to say south london look.


Which could be compared to the euro look




or the 90's bodykit era


Which could be compared to all sorts of crazyness



Or the 70's custom era

which is arguably inspired by cars from the USA


Cafe racer though

love it or hate it, the boy racer max power scene was "british"

That golf would have been categorized as retro look here in germany: adding lots of original chrome parts like mirrors, door handles or bumpers even at later cars, that had all black plastic parts already.



It may have been a thing in britain, but in france too and widespread in europe in general, so I wouldn not call this british.
Like bmcnut said 90s bodykit era, an evolution of the 80s body kit era which wasn´t that extrem - apart from wide body kits with really wide wheels (like 345s on a golf mk1 etc.)

One thing I would combine with the term british: twin engined cars, whenever I saw one in a mag it was british. I think pistonpoppers comment was going to that direction.

Yep makes me laugh the constant reference to the sarf laarndarn look.....utter curse word
