Germany manufactured Borgward Isabella,  once well known in Sri lanka, as a very comfortable sedan in late 1950s went for end of production  due to bankruptcy in 1961 .

The new faced same company has started producing vehicles again with their show case in Frankfurt Motor show this year.

Uhh...didn't Borgward start operations again like 10 years ago or something with FAW or some Chinese company financially backing them ? I believe after about 8 years or so of starting up they showcased their first model a couple of years ago at the Frankfurt (?? or Geneva ?) Motor Show and went on sale in China soon after.
