Solved my many: Factory Built
« on: September 01, 2010, 09:08:37 AM »
Arunas introduced the idea some time ago and I hope he won't be bothered that I've adabted it.
I guess this ain't easy, but let's try if it works.

Here you have 20 automobile factories unfortunately almost without any related cars, otherwise it would be to easy.
See if you can spot the companies behind these factory walls and where these are/were located.

As usual one point for each identification.
If you haven't registered yet, you'll need to do so in order to reply and to post your own puzzles

Maybe not the most successful concept for a group puzzle, but let's see what Pro's will make of it.

Number 9 is Matra Automobiles, base in Romorantin in the centre of France. The factory is sadly now closed, and a housing complex has been built on this site, but thankfully this original facade remains.
