Car and truck makes that you don’t see any more…

I wish I'd bought one after the wall came down. They were cheap as chips. Not sure they'd pass UK emissions, tho'

 

There should be a picture of it on a different thread then!

Wow - proper survivor!

Reminds me of a Toyota Corolla at the Toyota dealership in Loughborough in the early 2000's

They had a real survivor early 70's Corolla - plainly been loved by some old boy or girl - pretty much as new that they has in the showroom celebrating something to do with Corolla's.

It was in there for a few months - then pretty much abandoned in the back lot, out in all the weather for years.



The last place you find people that love cars is an actual car dealership.

 

Before the Second World War, Berlin was a city of car manufacturers.
Some automotive car makers are still active here producing parts (Mercedes) or engineering (also VW) or still producing bikes (BMW). Or new: Tesla.

Some were very big - like NAG or Brennabor which built a large assortment of trucks, cars, sports cars etc.
Ford also used to build cars in Berlin before moved to Cologne.
Some are known from movies as the Rumpler (raindrop shape in the 1920s) from the movie Metropolis.
Or in the 60s the Amphicar (amphibious automobile) in movies as Inspector Clouseau or in episodes of The Simpsons etc.
Some may know Rometsch - building e.g. VW beetle 4 door taxis and some luxury sport cars based on beetle in the 1950s owned by Gregory Peck or Audrey Hepburn.

That's just so thorough and comprehensive how do you follow it?
I was idly musing over extinct British sports and racing cars and seeing if I could find one for each letter of the alphabet. I failed, and had to look some up. It's not a comprehensive list, just ones I could think of off the top of my head, hence the 30s-70s bias.
Allard, Alvis, Atalanta, AC, Arnott, Ascari, Austin-Healey
Buckler, Berkeley, Bond, BSA, Bristol, BRM
Cannon, Clan, Chevron, Cooper, Costin, Connaught, (I had Crosslé in this list but they are still in business)
Dellow, Diva, Deep Sanderson
Evante (see Vegantune), Elva, ERA
Frazer Nash, Fairthorpe
Gordon Keeble, GN, Gilbern, GTM
Heron, HRG, Healey
Invicta
Jowett, Jeffrey, Jensen, Jensen-Healey
Kieft
Liege, Lola, Lea-Francis
Marcos, Midas, MiniJem
Napier, Nova
Ogle, O & C
Peerless, Piper, Panther
Quantum, Quasar – an odd cube shaped car, not a sports car although it was made by Unipower.
Reliant, Rochdale, Railton, Riley, Raymond Mays
Squire, Sylva, Swallow Doretti, Sunbeam, Singer, Speedex
TVR, Trident, Triumph, Turner, Tornado, Terrapin (the racing car not the WWII amphibian vehicle)
UVA, Unipower
Vale, Vegantune
Warwick
(Xtra – as mentioned by others. Doesn’t really belong here as it’s a cyclecar.)
(Y.E.C. – light car from 1920s. Had to look it up)
Zytec, (Zenos-another search result), (Zendik – a cycle car like the Xtra, and I had to look it up)

 

Don’t see Lancia’s anymore, and rarely did before.

 

Thanks. Remembered a couple more: Dutton and Pelland, who did a VW engined sports car, I think, before dabbling with steam power.
OK, back to cogitating slowly.

 

Agreed , I think they went belly up about 15 years ago. When I moved to That London 10 years ago I'd never seen an integralle (?) on the road but there was an immaculate mid 80s one parked just up the street , I'm not into cars at all but its classic lines just stood out and brightened up my day whenever I walked past .
A couple of months later - gutted - it had been shunted by a drunken arse whilst parked up and disappeared a week later , probably written off ...

I see one almost daily, only because a neighbour had one though.
