There were also some pretty high-spec British microcomputers, but they

ever go into production? Prototypes certainly exist).
True!
Yes, a friend has (or had) one. He amassed a huge collection, then
sold the lot and bought a Tesla. :-)
Wondering if I can do the same, TBH.
My experience at the time was that CP/M was not a
'big thing' in
Britain. And S100 was even less. Yes there were S100 computers here
(there were some British-produced ones like the CASU Super C which
used bought-in CPU and RAM cards and CASU I/O cards) but I don't
really remember them at the time.

Which were those? I thought all the Amstrad disk-based
CPCs and PCWs
could run CP/M
When you say "disk-based" you are excluding the GSX console and the
cassette-based ones, right?
The machine I referred to was the PcW 16:

(It does have a 3rd party app, ZPM, which can run CP/M programs.)
I was mistaken about the PcW 10; it's a "true" PCW and can run
LocoScript and CP/M:
