National Pescara was government backed attempt to create a Spanish motor industry. The project was the idea of Marquis Rauol de Pecara, and the first car was designed by his brother Enrique. The company was set up in 1929 in Barcelona, and cars went on sale in 1930.

The car produced was called the Eight and was a twin cam inline eight cyclinder engine with a 3L capacity and 125 bhp driving the rear wheels. The car could be had with a selection of body styles.

The project was doomed to failure as Spain was a poor country at the time, and when the Spanish revolution happened in 1931, the project floundered and did not continue past 1932.
