I assume that's to what you're referring.
We British seem to be very good at some things.
We're good at standing up to foreigners who try to do us harm.
Unfortunately, in the absence of such foreign powers, we seem to stand up to each other and end up harming everyone.
If only we could, one day, all work together.
We could be world leaders once again.

British companies Solasch ... making some of the best cars in the world.
How many formula 1 teams base themselves in the Netherlands ? Your avoiding answers staring you in the face again. We all know why, the denial of the common socialist always takes over when the truth doesn't suit their arguments.

Formula 1 is based in the UK because the British are amazing innovators and we lead the world in so many areas. It doesnt matter what the nationality of the management is, the home of their research and development is in Britain.
The future of the car industry and its technologies are innovated right here.
Look at where those leading names originated and where they ended up ... that should tell you something about what EU membership has meant for our industry
