According to the survey, 92 per cent of respondents said they had heard of the Rolls-Royce brand and 71.4 per cent stated they liked it.

The company was initially founded in 1906, making it one of the oldest brands, having produced luxury cars for more than a century.

The company’s current line-up of vehicles includes the Ghost, Wraith, Dawn, Phantom, and Cullinan.

In second place was Aston Martin, the UK-founded manufacturer of sports cars and grand tourers.

Ninety-four per cent of survey respondents had heard of the brand, with 68.09 per cent having a favourable opinion of it.

The brand, the favourite of fictional spy James Bond, has seen involvement in motorsports, most notably Formula 1, since being founded in 1913.

Aston Martin currently produces the DB11, DBS, DBX, Valkyrie, and Vantage. 

Jaguar took third place, with 98 per cent of respondents having heard of the brand and 67.35 per cent had a positive opinion of it.

The British-founded brand has existed since 1922 and is now part of Jaguar Land Rover’s merged brand.

Jaguar currently produces the E-Pace, F-Pace, F-Type, I-Pace, XE and XF. 

Audi and Ferrari were found to be the brands most known from the survey, which 64.65 per cent of respondents having a positive opinion of Audi and 62.63 per cent having a positive view of Ferrari.

These brands, along with Mercedes-Benz and Ford, were the only non-UK-founded brands on the list. 

Morgan was found to be the least known brand, with only 54 per cent of respondents hearing of it.

However, 64.81 per cent of those who had heard of it liked the brand, giving it the fifth-place spot in the list. 

Dave Timmis from Leasing.com said: “The assortment of UK car brands in this list highlights that it’s not only the quality of cars that can affect public opinion of a brand but also the history as well.

“With the inclusion of luxury, more expensive brands like Aston Martin and Rolls-Royce compared to more consumer-focused brands; the UK public doesn’t need to own a car to have a positive opinion of it.”
