We didnt invent the car, Karl Benz (German if you couldnt guess) did in 1886.

And we took over the world by force and enslaved millions of people, something to be proud of (not).
 
Prove the British invented the car then?

Karl Friedrich Benz (help·info) (November 25, 1844 – April 4, 1929) was a German engine designer and car engineer, generally regarded as the inventor of the gasoline-powered automobile.

If you are talking about a steam one then it was either a flemish monk in the 1600`s or a frenchman

But the first person to take a steam engine and place it on a full-sized vehicle was probably a Frenchman named Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot, who between 1769 and 1771 built a steam-powered automobile more than thirty years before the railway's first steam locomotive.

over to you.
