How do i get a sum of cells with the same name, so you get something
like this.

CAR NUMBER TOTAL
Mazda 1 16
Mazda 7
Mazda 8
Volvo 4 9
Volvo 5
Skoda 5 16
Skoda 4
Skoda 7

To replicate your results, and this assumes that CAR is sorted as you show, and
the table is in A1:Cn. CAR and NUMBER are NAME'd ranges.

C2: =IF(A2<A1,SUMIF(CAR,A2,NUMBER),"")

Copy/Drag down as far as needed.

You should also look at the

Data/Subtotals and Data/Pivot Table wizards for alternate methods of doing
this.

In particular, the Pivot Table will be of value if CAR is not a sorted list.
