Cars made in Sweden

2008-05-18: Many more new photos have been added, and new info here and there.

Here you find some info about cars made in Sweden - a wide variation of 'cars'. The car make list is rather long - often when only one or few cars were made, they didn't get a name. Later they've been 'named' after the constructor, the town or so. Anyway I think the length of the list is rather impressing, considering that Sweden during the end of the 20th century had only about 8 million inhabitants. (Don't miss the 'others' at the end of the list.)

I present this to you just for fun. I am not an expert on these cars, but I am amazed of the early constructors working without advanced tools and well documented experience from others. Under construction is the status - probably for several years. I'll put in more info when I find it and have time.

Do you have photos or information about cars made in Sweden, that I may use on my web pages? I am thankful for help, especially concerning the cars that are no more - cars I'll never be able to see and take own photos of.
