In the past century, there are lots of car brands have come and gone. A selection of eight vehicle brands and we hope that they will ever come back.

Simca

Let’s start small to make the French Simca. It existed between 1934 and 1980, then it was by Peugeot/Citroën was renamed to Talbot, who under that name copied Peugeot 104’s were sales. It was the kiss of death for the brand. Simca built ó so caressingly cars to suit all sympathy opwekten. Many car enthusiasts get a smile on his face at the sight of a Simca 1000 Rallye. In 2011, PSA plans had to Simca a new lease of life, but there is still nothing came. The brand deserves it, hopefully the small, cheap and sporty pastries ever again in cheerful colours in the showroom.

Alpine

How cool would it be if Renault under the name of Alpine weather, real sports cars was build? Two years ago, Renault in collaboration with Caterham already with a concept, but a few weeks ago, the marriage ended between the two brands piece. Yet we are secretly confident that there is about two years, a cheap Porsche-killer from Alpine, the Renault showrooms.

Austin

Austin, the brand in 1952, it merged with Morris and the legendary Mini, built later, according to Austin-Rover. But also the brand of the beautiful Auston Healey 3000 MkIII. It built great cars and especially of the sportier Austins, we see very much like a modern variant.

Saab

Saab, what should we now say about it. Always has a distinctive, stylish cars built but died to financial shortcomings. Is from his death, from all sides, resuscitated, and the production sometimes comes back for a while, rising. The 9-3 is a new one available in the Netherlands, but we still hope that the brand will soon a more stable basis to calm to a range of models to build.

DeLorean

The legendary DMC-12 with gull-wing doors and stainless steel bodywork was, and still is a true icon of the American brand Delorean. The brand closed in 1982, its doors, DeLorean was accused of money laundering. The brand is not completely dead because it is currently in the hands of a new owner busy with the restoration of DMC-12’s. A new 21st century DeLorean with the same external features as the DMC-12, would be quite a statement.

Triumph

The British-Irish Triumph brand we know now, unfortunately, only of the classics, and motorcycles. The car cut there in 1984, the last Triumph Acclaim was replaced by the Rover 200. The trademark rights are in the hands of BMW and who once boasted they would build. BMW’s Mini Roadster was not a great success, perhaps with the Triumph of a brighter and better roadster in the other?

Hummer

The American Hummer, very large and often very yellow. And therefore cool. There were not really sophisticated machines, but a new start hear new opportunities. The successor of the Hummer must come! Just as large and bright yellow as the old one, only better developed and perhaps also as 14% bijteller. Did you know that the Humvee still in production?

MG

MG, which stands for Morris Garages, it was in the 30’s is synonymous with sports car and had a rich racehistorie. The brand has built affordable sports cars but in the 80’s was equally wrong when the especially tuned tegehangers of other English brands went sales. Later there were again real MG’s such as the RV8 and the MGF. In 2005, it went together with Rover going bust. In 2008, the MG TF is temporarily back in production under the Chinese flag. There was also still some Chinese stuff with a MG badge, but the real MG we have never seen, and that is simply sin.
