Chevron B17 and Citroen HY, as the marque name of the first is part of the marque emblem of the latter.

Sounds like a five-pointer then

Citroen H van and Minidor CNG Delivery Van: they're both made of bits of spare roofing material someone found lying around... well all right then, they both have load areas made of corrugated steel!

Minidor CNG Delivery Van and Ligier BeSun both lack doors.

Carnut · « **Reply #1131 on:** October 04, 2011, 08:46:34 AM »

Ligier BeSun minivan and Reliant Scimitar. Both were made by companies that made the slightly odd combination of basic vans and sports cars:

Wendax · « **Reply #1132 on:** October 04, 2011, 09:25:05 AM »

Reliant Scimitar and BMW 2002 Targa both have bootlids that protrude into the rear wings.

Carnut · « **Reply #1133 on:** October 04, 2011, 04:04:30 PM »

BMW 2002 Targa and Triumph TR4 Surrey Top.

Both cars, although ostensibly convertibles, have some fixed windows around the rear and a removable roof panel in what later became known as a Targa Top, after Porsche made a 911 Targa. In fact it had been invented much earlier, Triumph's TR4 having what they called a "Surrey Top".

Wendax · « **Reply #1134 on:** October 04, 2011, 04:30:35 PM »

Triumph TR 4 Surrey Top and Austin A40 Somerset DHC, as they both carry a name of one of the 39 historic counties of England.

Allan L · « **Reply #1135 on:** October 05, 2011, 03:57:54 AM »

The Austin A40 Somerset's name includes that of the main road from London to Oxford (A40) and the Audi A10 has the same reference to the main road from London to Cambridge! (for the benefit of non-British members, they are our two ancient university towns)

Allan, I like yours, too. But this puzzle must go on

Audi A 10 and BMW 320 d, as they were both the first Diesel engined cars to win a famous 24h race, the Audi in 2006 at Le Mans, the BMW in 1998 at the Nürburgring.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #1138 on:** October 05, 2011, 04:35:42 AM »

BMW 320 d and a Brewster-Ford Town Car

Both cars are recognizable by grills that are in ways that recall human organs: the BMW "kidney" grill, and the Brewster "heart"

Wendax · « **Reply #1139 on:** October 05, 2011, 06:57:13 AM »

Brewster Town Car and Ford Model 40 Special Speedster, as Edsel Ford owned both of them

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #1140 on:** October 05, 2011, 07:24:17 AM »

We had this
Cord 812 Phaeton 1937 Tom Mix's and Duesenberg J Rollston Conv. 1937 both car companies were owned by the same man, in the last year of their production

but yurs is new

Ford Model 40 Special Speedster and Rover Jet1. Both cars are notable one-offs that underwent a front end restyling in their early days.
The radiator area of the ’34 Speedster was modified by its creators, Edsel Ford and E. T. Gregoire, in 1940, the Jet1 was given a new nose job in 1952, just two years after its introduction.

Wendax · « **Reply #1142 on:** October 08, 2011, 06:54:02 AM »

Rover Jet 1 (in its initial version) and the Renault 12 prototype "Project 117", as they both featured three headlamps.

Djetset · « **Reply #1143 on:** October 10, 2011, 02:14:49 PM »

Renault's Project 117 R12 prototype and the Rover P6 (2000, 2200, 3500), as they were both three-box sedans/saloons that could have with the spare wheel mounted on the rear trunk/boot lid.

Rover P6 and Simca 1307 / 1308, as they both were elected as "Car of the Year"

Djetset · « **Reply #1145 on:** October 10, 2011, 02:40:32 PM »

The Simca 1307/1308 and Alpine GTA, as they both had different model names in the British market (with an 'Alpine' connection), the Simca being called the Chrysler Alpine, and the Alpine being the known as the Renault GTA.

Wendax · « **Reply #1146 on:** October 10, 2011, 02:51:23 PM »

Alpine GTA and Volkswagen 1500 Typ 3 Cabriolet, as they both have two trunks, one up front and one in the back.

We had this:
Opel G90 Pininfarina Rossa both cars won the same award

but I'll accept yours too.

403 matches so far!

VW 1500 Typ 3 Cabriolet and Ford Comète Cabriolet. Both cars are convertibles based on a two-door sedan model of the company, developed but never produced.
Although officially advertised in the early sixties, the pretty VW 1500 Cabriolet never went into mass production. Neither did the Comète Cabriolet, of which only two prototypes are known to be built.

Wendax · « **Reply #1149 on:** October 11, 2011, 04:50:04 PM »

Ford Comète Cabriolet and Citroen C3 Picasso were both built in factories, where the Peugeot 207 is being built, the Ford at Poissy, the Citroen at Trnava in Slovakia.
