Hello guys! Here's a super big project I wanna try on AutoPuzzles. So we've seen here a lot of unique cars that come from unique countries, and sometime those countries get swept under, not really seen for being a country that makes automobiles. So, I want to set out and see if we can find at least ONE modern automobile from Every single COUNTRY and TERRITORY in the World! All 196+! This may not be easy, But I have hope that we can find all! There are some rules however, that I'd like to put into place...
1 - All Cars/Countries must be provided with at least ONE picture. More than one is welcome.
2 - Each Post must have the Country named first, then the car name, then any specs if you choose to do so. (EX: United Kingdom - McLaren F1 - [Any Specs])
3 - For the larger countries, you can use any car you want. Whatever you think is unique, enter it before someone else does!
4 - For The Sake Of Being Modern, The car you find is recommended to be/look Post-1930's, and Must be Cars. (Things like carriages, Trucks, and trolleys are not allowed)
5 - Cars from unrecognized states and Territories are allowed, as long as they are decently populated. (Taiwan, Guam, Puerto Rico, Greenland, etc.)
6 - Past countries / Territories are not allowed, If you know a car from a past territory, find out what country it currently is and use that as your post. (Ex: Rhodesia, Zaire, Yugoslavia, etc. are not allowed.)
7 - Cars must have a known Company or Builder. (Ex: RWB Porsche 911 is fine since it has a company)
8 - It is best advised to use the most common cars you can find for your country. So that other cars can be used for puzzles later on.
9 - Be Sure to Check the list below this post to see if any countries are already used.
Lastly before you hunt, Have fun! I hope that we can fill this list to 196 and above! Good Luck!!! :D

While I like the concept of this thread, I think it is a pity that obscure cars like this one will go unpuzzled because they have appeared on this thread first. I think we should post only cars that have been puzzled before or that are widely known enough that they don't merit a puzzle.
Libya: Saroukh el-Jamahiriya, AKA Gaddafi's Libyan Rocket. Of course. This being the second incarnation from 2009, of which there are more images out there.
Switzerland: 1987 Sbarro Monster G. One of my favourite cars from when I was Chance's age.
Canada: 1988 Vehma Torrero. (Vehma is now based in Detroit, but back then they were in Ontario). Another favourite from my teenage years. It still looks cool and futuristic today, 30 years later. If I was a millionaire, I would pay Vehma any amount they asked for to build me a replica.

I see what you mean. Hat was one question that I had even when I started this game. Im going over the rules to see what I can do about it.
I really want to see how far we can go with this so I'm trying not to make it a flop. Hopefully everything just works out well till we get to the really obscure countries.

Do you have any sort of name for this vehicle? Anything like who created it or a company that did it?
I also plan on making another rule that there needs to be something like a company or person that is known to work on the car. Without it, it would be really hard to figure out where it came from.
If you cant find anyone who built that Vios, I'll let you keep that one for Sri Lanka. But just remeber that next car you find has to have at least a person or company.

Sorry to disagree, but the first DDR was constructed by Diego Grullon at Domenican Republic (where he lived at that time). After built it he took it to Association of Handcrafted Automobiles' 2005 Fun In The Sun event at Knott's Berry Farm in Southern California. And moved into US in 2006.

I recently found a list I have that has almost every country I know a car for and I have 124.5 countries on my own list

Just like DeLorean was an American company, building their cars in Northern Ireland doesn't make them Irish (if anything, it would be from the UK then), for me TAG is a Luxemburg brand. There are probably other cars I could find...
Maybe this Jaeger steam car is better?
I understood, but maybe am wrong, the Douglas was made for some time at Cyprus

Yeah I was kinda afraid of this one. I had originally wrote a note under that one saying that as countries got harder if you had a name and some sort of modification that you could use it. I took it down however because I didn't know if it was too early or not. I'll take it down and see if there's another Curacao car out there.

The car doesnt necessarily need to be built as an original car from that country, it just need to at leadt be modified in some way in that country either internally or visually, demonstrated by Oguerrob's answer for Sti Lanka. The tuned Toyota Vios.
Bali is a province, but any country and territory is allowed. Such as how we've already used Places like Puerto Rico and Guernsey.
I disagree about Bali having a similar status as Puerto Rico or Guernsey. As you said, Bali is just one of 34 provinces of Indonesia (in fact, 31 provinces, two special regions and a capital region). Are we now looking for cars from Bengkulu, Lampung etc? We could just as well start listing cars from all 101 French départements, the 16 German federal states or the 50 US states. Which takes us to Puerto Rico that, as you might know, is not a state, but just a territory of the United States. Here your territory rule applies justly. Guernsey is a Crown dependency and it is not part of the United Kingdom, not even part of the European Union. It even has its own international licence plate country code, GBG.
After all, it is your game and these are just my thoughts about clarity of the rules.
Whatever you decide is ok for me.
I imagined this argument would come up at some point in this thread and I have to agree with Wendax that we should take actual political status into account when we post cars from territories that are not independent states. But maybe the simplest solution would be to avoid this altogether and just stick to countries with state status.
Or even easier to verify: one car per international licence plate country code.
Or just checked Wikipedia before posting
I see what you guys mean. And its my mistake for not clarifying this earlier. I expected this to come up now since we've reached the point where it is gonna get hard to try and find something.
I like what you stated Wendax about Bali not being a territory and thats my fault for not noticing that earlier, I've been following the U.S Department of State for countries but they lack in territories so instead of assuming ill make sure look it up first.
This goes along with what Oguerrob said about just looking at Wikipedia first before you post a car from a place that might not seem like a recognizable country or territory. That would be a really smart thing to do so incidents like this dont happen again.
Personally i think its just too late to mess up the game because now we've reached the point where we have to hunt to find these cars. A simple search like 'Car from Burkina Faso' wont cut it anymore. So this is the really exciting part and I dont want to lose it here.

You can cross the 0.5 off because the Isle of Wight is not and never has been a country!
It is of course part of England, hence the United Kingdom and is no more a country than Martha's Vineyard or Long Island!

I have to make sure that the list is modern, so I made sure that we couldnt use places that arent countries or territories anymore. So no like Yugoslavia or Rhodesia or anything despite being very popular ex-countries
Edit: you guys can use cars that were built in ex-countries as their modern day countries. (Ex: Rhodesia > Zimbabwe/Namibia) it's just easier to use cars that way. I know a car that was built in Rhodesia but is now modern day Namibia, and its the only car I know from that area. So if you guys wanna use a car that was built in the Yugoslavia area but you wanna label it as any of the countries it turned into, be my guest.

China: Geely Fengyin Concept (https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2008-36/q62-solved-geely-fengyin-concept/), back from a time (2006) when Chinese companies hadn't quite got the hang of car design yet. They've come a long way since then.

Just a small correction: The name of the company is Zastava ("flag" in Serbian)
Also, since we're at it, the "i" is missing from the word "Encyclopedia" in the thread title.

I should've stated something beforehand, do you guys think concepts should be available now? I never origionally made a rule for it because I didnt think of it. But if you guys are for it or against it lemme know.
There's at least one finished Montenegrin car - so we do not need a concept drawing
I think we must go on with real cars
I'm also in favour of posting real functioning cars, or, at least, full size static models. I understand this makes it more difficult to cover some countries but I think it would give more integrity to the thread.
(I'm really curious now about the Montenegrin car DeAutogids is referring to but it looks like it hasn't been puzzled before so I'd rather someone puzzled it before it's posted here!)

Yes, of course, I understand...
Let me see if I can find some more interesting things that have not featured here (or maybe have) and I might be able to smuggle it in... though it could become a black hole (not likely)
Alright then! I'll take the Hybster off and leave it to all of us to try and find a different Montenegrin car.

We have already had the collective United Kingdom, but we have not had the four individual countries that make up the UK; England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, so here they are now; as follows:
-England - Bristol Bullet

-Northern Ireland - Clan Clover
I know that all 4 of them make up the United kingdom, so I'll let this only one slide and put you down as a 'plus' for the United Kingdom. I know they're called countries, but I'm afraid it will spin loose and soon you have everyone trying to find cars from all 50 U.S states. So this one time only i'll put this one along with the U.K.

It was not General Motors that made it, a local company did so, using GM components, but also local components. The body was build by a different company as to the company that made the rear loading area.
'I know they're called countries...' That's because England, Scotland, Wales, etc. are countries, not States like Texas, Ohio, etc. ;). Fine, though, I take your point...

Correction:
Make name: AG Excalibur. Here AG stands for Audronis Gestautas (from Kaunas Lithuania). Excalibur is just a nice word that he decided to use together.
Models: Shark, based on BMW M6.
The second car is based on Mercedes-Benz. It has no official model designation, as far as I know.
The third car is Alligator. Based on BMW X6. Presented at IAA Frankfurt 2015.
All of them are one-offs.
I have official brochure of AG Excalibur in my archive. To my best knowledge, Audronis Gestautas is currently busy with some restoration works.

It's mine. However, it is a 1:43 Bburago diecast and with a bit of luck you can easily find one for a low price. On Ebay I found one for little over $3 in the UK in the right colours and one like mine in yellow for just over $2 in Belgium (though play-worn).

I'll have to look a little bit more. I've never been much of a 1:43 scale collecter. It's always been either 1:64 or 1:18 (Which tends to be on the pricey side!) We really dont have many Bburago sets here in America, when we do its usually left in the discarded area of offbrand cars, making room for things like Hot Wheels, Matchbox, Johnny Lightning, and now Majorette. Bburago does have some 1:64 scale cars like their Ferrari collection, but those don't sell here and they cost about 7 dollars on Ebay. I dunno. I really do wanna find that Tako!

Mozambique - Matchedje X3
Kosovo: Ditron Selmani's home-made Lamborghini
Jordan: Al-Washaq 4x4 ATV
So it's come to the point where the thread is slowly fading away and it's becoming harder to find cars. Do you guys want me to soften up some rules to make things easier, or do you want to continue the way it is. You lemme know.
South Africa: BMW 2004
Ethiopia: Holland DOCC
I'll accept the Ethiopian car but I cant do the South African one since BMW is a German company. I'll let you try and find another South African car thats from a local brand since it's not that hard. I'm surprised we missed South Africa!
The BMW 2004 was only built in South Africa, a model not to be found elsewhere in the world.
I do understand where you're coming from, but the point of the game is to find a car/compny that is locally grown and made in that country. The 2004 may have only been sold in South Africa, and may have been sold out of a South African division of BMW, but all in all, BMW is German. It would be different if BMW was locally grown and started production in South Africa, but no. It's just like how Renault produces cars in Ivory Coast, and Ford makes Production in Mexico, but when you hear 'Renault' and 'Ford' your first instinct is France and USA.
Like I said before, South Africa is super easy to find a locally made car. There are many home made vehicles and even some done by universities. It doesn't have to be a production car, it just has to be a Car. And it has to be made originally in South Africa. I'm still gonna hold the country for you because you already made the effort of trying to find a car for that country, and I don't wanna rip it from you and let someone else take it. So any South African car will do! If you struggle finding one just search one up here. We've been doing that mostly to conserve wasting cars as they could sometimes be good puzzles.
So a Bulgarrenault 10 is fine for Bulgaria, because it has a different brand than a Renault 10, just as a ZAZ Chance, although it is just a licence-built Chevrolet Lanos? ???

Those two fit in the rules because Bulgarrenault and ZAZ both are their own companies from their own countries. Maybe possibly if the BMW 2004 was built in South Africa by another company, It would've worked. But because it was a BMW from the factory still with the BMW name, It didn't fit in with the rules.
But it's all fine now that you've found another one. Just remember this for next time!

I still have trouble understanding the rule. Is it: No matter where the car was built, it belongs to the country where the name-giving company is located? Then the BMW 2004 is German. If not, it must be South African.
Applying the above rule the Daewoo Matiz changed from being South Korean to US American when it was relabelled Chevrolet Matiz witout any other changes than the badges in 2005. And the Seat 133 was Spanish, but when it was built in Argentina as a Fiat 133 it was Italian? The Austrian-built Mercedes-Benz G turned from German into Austrian when the Puch badge was applied for the models for the Swiss and Austrian markets? The Hyundai Galloper was South Korean, except in Germany and Spain where it was Japanese, because it was sold as a Mitsubishi Galloper? I'm lost!

It is a Uruguayan design and construction, backed by Uruguayan general motors, a local subsidiary imported the bedford engine ca, cf, and alfinal with opel or chevette ,it had nothing to do with the btv, gm project for underdeveloped countries

Just remember this for next time!
I still have trouble understanding the rule. Is it: No matter where the car was built, it belongs to the country where the name-giving company is located? Then the BMW 2004 is German. If not, it must be South African.
Applying the above rule the Daewoo Matiz changed from being South Korean to US American when it was relabelled Chevrolet Matiz witout any other changes than the badges in 2005. And the Seat 133 was Spanish, but when it was built in Argentina as a Fiat 133 it was Italian? The Austrian-built Mercedes-Benz G turned from German into Austrian when the Puch badge was applied for the models for the Swiss and Austrian markets? The Hyundai Galloper was South Korean, except in Germany and Spain where it was Japanese, because it was sold as a Mitsubishi Galloper? I'm lost!
I know it's confusing, but you are correct. It belongs to the country where the name-giving company is located. This is rarely a problem now, especially this late in the game. Because only 1 or 2 cars and brands could possibly be ever located from smaller countries. But South Africa was just one of the examples of a larger country with many more cars to be found. I wanted to focus on roots of companies even though they were sold in a certain country where they may not have originally started because I truly wanted to see how many locally grown brands there could be around the entire world. But besides that, here's the best example of the rule i'd originally made.
Zagato Perana Z-One. A car based in South Africa, holds the Zagato name strongly, even though it is Italian. And even if the work of designing and building all happened in Italy, It would still count as South African. Because thats where it grew from. This may not happen again because all the bigger countries are used up already. Not only do you have to think about the car, you have to think about the brand and badge as well.

Grenada: Jason Vera's Evo Drag Car. Dragged in the Geneva Motor Clubs International Drag Race.
That's just a mildly modified Evo?
Yeah. But modified cars are allowed. I've done things like this before with countries like Honduras. I did it to loosen up the rules so we dont have to deeply hunt for things.
I'd say, take a look at the puzzles of Oguerrob or me to see that there is loads of potential. We're not in some hurry, are we?
For example, the American Virgin Islands have a car make - I think it was featured here
I think almost all countries have a (at least one) car, we should just look for them.
