In 1990 at the Trafalgar Square Poll Tax Riots, I personally saw several cars burnt out - memorably a Porsche 911 near the SA Embassy, which was also torched.
Brixton was not the last time, and it will certainly happen again.
The problem is, as a Nation, we let this resentment fester away until it boils over into violence, which is usually counterproductive in one way or another.
The UK has a long, if not frequent, tradition of Civil Disobedience and Rioting - from the Peasants revolt in 1381, and I' sure from before that even.
