Place related car names

Ffs how did I forget Fleetwood?

[Hooli]

Was there a Mini Ritz & Mini Chelsea too?

[mercrocker]

Yes, and Piccadilly, Park Lane, (Metro) Rio although I suppose Ritz is a building rather than location (pedant)

Have we had Mazda Montrose?

Or there is the Argyll (both Veteran and the 1980s sports car attempt).....

Along with the afore-mentioned Imp/Minx Californians was also the cheap runout Imp Caledonian special....

[mercrocker]

Fiat Mirafiori
BMW Bavaria (septic edition of E3)
de Tomaso Vallelunga (apologies if repeat)
Warwick GT (forerunner to the Peerless)
I have thought of two more Austin names, too - York and Norfolk saloon variants of 16 and 18 models respectively.
Bugatti Brescia
Railton Cobham (and Fairmile)
Chrysler Wimbledon (a Kew-built Plymouth really)
Austin Tasman (aussie Crab variant) ditto the Kimberley

Be back with more (probably when I wake up in the middle of the night....)

A few Hotchkiss ones are Cabourg, Artois and Anjou. I am sure there are a few more as well.

Rolls-Royce Corniche (assuming we haven't had it, I did see Camargue nominated)

Is Corniche a place?

I thought it just meant road by the sea?

Ben

There's one in Dubai as Mrs Rocker's son was poncing about there last week. Probably does originate as you say from a noun but like Riviera ends up getting appended to certain actual places.

How about vauxhall cresta? Seeing as the cresta run is sort of a place.

[mercrocker]

It is a sort of a thing really but as there is (I think) only the one maybe.

However, you can have Firenza - the Italian spelling of Florence.

Ahem. Firenze. Not wishing to be too pedantic. Oh… hold on.
