How we define a Cottage Industry Sports Car: a car produced by an automaker in small numbers. Such carmakers usually do not produce vehicles for the masses and prefer to sell to niche markets, thus the largest such companies listed are those like AC, Bristol, Allard, Cisitalia, Iso, Morgan, and TVR. In this case, it’s post-war sports cars (we will exclude anything super exotic and most one-offs)… this is probably the most interesting list we have:
