The first British computer, also the first programmable digital electrical computer, was the Colossus. It was built during WW2 at Bletchley Park, which housed the Government Code and Cypher School (now named the Government Communications Headquarters, GCHQ). It was used primarily to decrypt secret German messages. The Colossus was not Turing complete. I imagine that it was a lovely blue color.
The other possibility is the Analytical Engine, designed by Charles Babbage in the 19th century. It was never completed, but it would have been digital, programmable, and Turing complete (albeit very, very slow, even compared to ENIAC or Colossus). I imagine that it was a manly brown color.
