For my 100th puzzle I chose something rather difficult. This one belongs to the Art&Cars series and is exceptional in many ways.

There are a lot of points offered (four to be precise):
- one if you can identify this lady correctly
- one each for the cars she was associated with (I know three brands)

First you have to identify the lady and then you can make guesses on the cars she was associated with.

Let's see whether the cream of the crop can handle it!

Is she Norah, Lady Docker?

Then the connection would be Daimler, BSA and Hooper (if you´d accdept that as an own marque), but I´ve got to check the picture now...

No, not her, not even remotely connected

And it would have been way too easy for your 100th puzzle, of course...

Was the lady an actress?

Yes, she was an actress

Strangely, her costume (and the photo ) seem to come from the silent era...
Let's narrow it down: Hollywood?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #9 on:** July 15, 2010, 12:50:34 PM »

No, far, far away from Hollywood

guido66 · « **Reply #10 on:** July 15, 2010, 03:31:12 PM »

From the UK?

You have to go more eastwards in Continental Europe

Ray B. · « **Reply #12 on:** July 16, 2010, 03:00:52 AM »

From your own country?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #13 on:** July 16, 2010, 05:29:10 AM »

Yes, I made an exception to my own rules. She was a Hungarian actress who was quite famous here in the 1920s and 1930s and who was able to continue acting after the 2nd World War and appeared in many movies up until her death.

Ray B. · « **Reply #14 on:** July 16, 2010, 06:38:17 AM »

I have several candidates. Let's start with Tolnay Klari (although I don't suppose she began to act in the 1920's).

pnegyesi · « **Reply #15 on:** July 16, 2010, 08:05:58 AM »

Not her, this lady who's the subject of our puzzle was born almost 30 years earlier (big clue methinks)

SÁRI PETRÁSS?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #17 on:** July 16, 2010, 09:17:37 AM »

Sári Petráss was also a driver and a contemporary of the puzzle actress, but she died in a car accident in the 1930s. So it's not her.

Lilly Berky (or Berky Lilly, or Lili Berki...)

pnegyesi · « **Reply #19 on:** July 16, 2010, 09:21:57 AM »

Not her

Ray B. · « **Reply #20 on:** July 16, 2010, 09:31:21 AM »

Man, I'm discovering a whole new world...

pnegyesi · « **Reply #21 on:** July 16, 2010, 09:58:02 AM »

well, this puzzle will tell you a few things about Hungarian motoring in the 1920s

guido66 · « **Reply #22 on:** July 20, 2010, 05:54:08 PM »

Lóth Ila?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #23 on:** July 21, 2010, 12:24:52 AM »

No, not her
