This is an old joke, but these are old pictures:

Question: Why don’t the British manufacture typewriters?

Answer: They can’t figure out how to make them leak oil.

OK, this is the Berkeley roadster, which even I have never heard of. The same is true for the German Lloyd. I have heard of a Skoda, but I’m not sure that’s a good thing.

Now this is really alarming: I have discovered something called the Internet Movie Cars Database. I suppose you knew that a Skoda is briefly visible in "North by Northwest." But I didn’t.
