Hi
As it is wikipedia, could I suggest that someone who knows how it is done, edits the page to add links to the missing companies ie BSA and Delorean have wiki pages, I haven't checked the other companies mentioned by inglewood yet.

BSA comes up from a further link off the Ariel page..

Edit
Briton is mentioned on the Star entry.

Frightening when you read it how many you can actually remember seeing in the flesh.
