PreWarCar.com Christmas Quiz 2022 - Answers and Winners

• 

We hope you all enjoyed our 2022 Christmas Quiz. We enjoyed the challenge of setting the questions and choosing the content, and we trust the end product was suitably stimulating. Most of you managed to correctly identify the countries we were hinting at, but naming their best-selling cars proved to be an altogether trickier matter.

We'd like to thank everyone who took part and offer our special congratulations to our three winners, but we would now advise that you start doing your homework in time for next Christmas's quiz...

And now, without further ado, the answers:

There were 14 marks going, and the results were hotly contested with quite a few entrants managing 12. Congratulations are due to David Miller and Fritz Hegemann, who both managed 13 points, but the overall winner and recipient of the prized PreWarCar.com polo shirt is Daniel Reuben, who impressed us with full marks. Send us your address and shirt size and we will send it as soon as possible.

An honourable mention is also due to Thomas Treul, who spotted our deliberate mistake. Indeed, the Lohner-Porsche was made in Austria...
