Karl Benz built the first car in 1885, and since then many thousands of companies have sprung up trying to make a name for themselves.

Karl Benz built the first car in 1885, and since then many thousands of companies have sprung up trying to make a name for themselves.

But few have survived and here we take a look at how some of those survivors (plus a few that didn't make it) got started. Sometimes things are a lot more convoluted than you think though, with some companies claiming two (or even three) first cars… In chronological order, let's take a look at the first car made by every major carmaker:

Mercedes-Benz: Patent Motorwagen (1886)

Peugeot (1891)

Ford: Quadricycle (1896)
