Bikes: '77 Centurion "Pro Tour"; '67 Carlton "The Flyer"; 1984 Ross MTB (stored at parents' house)

I see new Centurions here in Sweden quite frequently. Typically sportier-type men's city/commuter bikes with internally geared hubs. I believe they're Danish. They seem quite nicely done for the style. Sometimes with threadless stems and rear handbrakes, which makes them a bit different from the Swedish style city bikes. There are also some German MTBs with the same brand.

Interestingly, Nishiki bike frames sold today here in Sweden are actually welded in Gothenburg. Kind of the opposite of Bridgestone: Japanese name, domestic origin.
