You learn something new every day, I didn't know there was a place in France named Carmargue but I'm sorry but I just don't get Nissan Skyline....

I have been there. The Carmargue district is wild and beautiful; famous for it's white horses and flamingos.
BTW Am I allowed the Derby Bentleys? |

One I put in before was the Standard Nine Teignmouth saloon and that got me wondering about other body styles on that car, there are the Fulham and Selby and the Standard Fifteen had an Exmouth saloon too.
I have recall reading once of a early thirties Singer Porlock saloon, not sure of the model, probably a Nine I think. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

Again from the thirties, Frazer Nash liked to use place names. They had models such as Boulogne, Ulster, Nurberg and Exeter. _________________ Various Rootes Vehicles. |

So it appears that back in the day, when the boss was out, the naming committees hung their dartboards over the world dealership map. In times of mind block they went to the map and looked for puncture marks. |

We've had towns, counties and regions but how about the means to get there? Triumph Mayflower and Renown would fit. There is, (defeated of course) the Renault Frégate but on a more correct path perhaps the Renault Floride and the Sunbeam and Renault Alpine, |

Carried on the back of a Leyland Sherpa covers place and means of transport. |

Have we mentioned the Seat range? Altea, Ibiza, Toledo, Ateca, Arona, Leon, Alhambra, Marbella, Aroza, Cordoba, Malaga, Ronda. Then there's the Dutton Sierra, a name they lost to Ford by force majeure. |
