Here's my offer for the letter A.

Austin, Alvis, Allard, Aston Martin, Audi, Auto Union, Abarth, Amilcar, Arrows, ATS,

Both Abarth and Alpine were separate marques before being absorbed by FIAT and Renault, respectively.

Didn't Chris Amon field a car under his own name in the early 1970's? Amon-Ford?

Well done Cossie. I missed both Alpine and Amon.

Yes Amon did in fact build his own GP car.
