Hi all,
A slightly odd question for you all- I am interested to find out what European countries never produced a car......Scotland for one even though they invented tarmac roads and the pneumatic tyre! List is thus so far: If you spot a mistake, let me know! Scotland Wales Belarus? Liechtenstein Slovenia? Norway? Denmark? Finland? Serbia? Croatia? Moldova? Macedonia? Question marked ones I am unsure of ( some used to be Ugoslavia in which case they did make cars)and if anyone can add what they did make there, I'd be happy to correct it! Thanks in advance, Jamie

Belarus is actually a state of russia if memory serves ie belarus = "Belarussia"
Russia has got a few cars, most notable was the 'zil'... a HUGE limmo of 2 or 3 tones! This may be wrong, im just thinking out loud! Interesting topic however |

A lot of these countries produce cars under contract for other companies such as Nissan, Renault, etc but don't know of any home grown cars.

Scotland did my Hillman is made in Scotland, assembled in Melbourne but made in Scotland using English parts. In fact the Hillman Imp was regarded at Scotland's own car.
Assembled by raving mad scotish labour after being forced by the government to build a plant in scotland as opposed to the English midlands. It sent the company broke, but the cars were pretty well made.

I am pretty sure Ireland never made a car either. The Delorean was made in the north if memory serves rightly. We did invent Guinness though...

From wiki "SEAT has its manufacturing facilities in Martorell, an industrial town close to Barcelona. The development facilities are some of the newest in the Volkswagen group. For example, the development and design of the Audi Q7 took place there. SEAT, instead of being a mere part of VW, develops its own designs. Every year, its improvements make its cars a new standard for the European automobile industry, in fact, the Seat Leon has been recently recognized by the German press as the most competitive model of the year, wining the award against other cars like VW Golf, Skoda Octavia and Audi A4" I wonder what "the most competitive model of the year" means, lol. |

[QUOTE=ronwest]Sure... just trying to back away from the Fiat association.
Hey nothing wrong with Fiat. One of the oldest car makers, and were winning GP before Japan or most countries had cars. Now one of the most popular brands in Europe. And still Italian owned. |

I would have thought all countries would have produced A car brand over the years. How big they were is another question.
