It's a bit of a strange name for a car company, right? Here's why:
* Founded by a Spaniard: The company was founded by a Spanish engineer, Damaso de la Soria, in 1904.
* Swiss Investment: He initially received significant investment from Swiss financiers.
* Dual Identity: This unique mix of Spanish and Swiss influence is reflected in the name.
While the company's origin is firmly in Spain, the "Suiza" in its name is a nod to its crucial Swiss financial support.
