They were Austrian - but Wiki also tells me made under licence in Italy.

Meanwhile, Germany had Pusch...'little bit of politics there'...

Never heard of Pusch reads like a typo were they Russian?

If they were made under licence in Italy then on that basis Mercedes are South African as most C class models are built in SA.

Yes but Brown bought out Aston, Laverda started with farm machinery, i seem to remember him thinking MV were too expensive or something like that
