Imperia comes to mind - they did a wonderful convertible body on a Standard Vanguard that really turned an ugly duckling into a swan.

Metallurgique and Minerva come to mind. Both produced interesting cars. There are a few examples of both in Oz.
F.N. produced cars and motorbikes, I believe F.A.B. might have come from an amalgamation of a couple of other brands, and there was also a car called Vivinus, but I have never seen one of those.
