The final assembly is in Goodwood, Sussex. Therefore I would still call it British.
It gets more complicated with Bentley, as some models are (or shall be?) produced at the VW works in Dresden, next to the Phaeton. But on the web-side they make it clear that they are British: 'Our Vision'

Final list for now:

Singer GB
Škoda CS/CZ if possible written Škoda not Skoda
Standard GB
Steyr A
Stutz USA
Sunbeam GB
Tatra CS/CZ
Taylor-Dunn USA
Tempo D
Thames GB
Trabant DDR should be Sachsenring, after 1990 D
Triumph GB I think we have no German Triumph
UAZ SU/RUS
Unic F
Ural SU/RUS
Vanden Plas GB
VELAM F should be written in capital letters
Wales & Edwards GB
Western Star USA & CDN
White-Freightliner USA
Walter CS
Yamaha J
ZiS SU
Zündapp D

I have edited about 300 makes and will leave the rest for other admins ... I shouldn't be so selfish ...

One more for batch conversion:

For 'smart' not only the brand, but also the names are written in small letters. The only exception is 'Brabus', as this is a company name added to the car's name.

Antoine: The sub class listing "chassis Cab" should be listed under trucks not cars. I cant think of a single application for a chassis cab in a car catagory.

For me the country of a make does not depend only on where it is built.
For me the Mexican VW Beetle are still a German car, as it was designed and first produced by VW Germany, and kept nearly unchanged for Mexico.


I'll see what I can do


They still produced something after 1990 ?


Yes


Two countries? Does it depend if it is a 1974 or a 1981?


Thanks very much for your help

For model name it depends on the cases. I already saw it with uppercase even in official documents I think. But you are right: usually they use all lowercase. I am not sure that a case change can be done through SQL (as strings are case-insensitive for searches), I'll test. In the worse case I can do "Fortwo" -> "For2" -> "fortwo" to force the change

The car/truck split is done with the european view of that (as the site was first made by French & Belgian members).
So you have to see "trucks" as "heavy trucks".
Here what we call a truck is something more than 3.5 ton, that requires a special driving license.
So in chassis-cab you find light tow trucks, small cube trucks (a cube posed on a chassis+cab), etc.
This was made because for us (F & B) these vehicles are in the same category than the cars, in weight, size and license requirement.
For the tax services, they are considered as "utility", but a hatchback without rear seats is considered the same.
I know that in USA the SUVs, pickups, etc. are considered as truck like is the semi-trailer tractor truck...
Heavy chassis-cab should be listed as "simply trucks". In French it is called "porteur" but I still have not found its real English equivalent.

Only 2513 vehicles left without country
To see these, two links:
http://www.imcdb.org/search.php?resultsStyle=asList&origin=
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicles.php?origin=
I also added links to easily see the car of "minorities", e.g. find the Chinese or Finnish cars, on the stats page:

Alexander, here is a gift for you after your work: http://forum.imcdb.org/forum_topic-1023-4198.html

In the oval-letters countries list, China seems to be missing...
I wanted to use it for this one:
http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=32389
Or do we consider this as a Chinese car rather than a German one, though it seems to be just a license-built Jetta and not another car derivated from it.

I finished renaming the major makes, and included them in the "automatic origin" function ( www.imcdb.org/temp/auto-origin.txt )
Still 1549 vehicles without countries, but "only" 656 that are not "unknown" make (i.e. the 900 others are unknown vehicle anyway, and will get a country when they will get a make).

Pour moi, c'est ok! Si j'ai bien tout compris...
