The Audi Typ K that was illustrated was one of the first aerodynamic car bodies by one Paul Jaray, who had started his career as an aerodynamicist working on Zeppelin airships.
The Burney Streamline was designed (and produced ) by Sir Dennistoun Burney, who had been the Airship Guarantee Co.'s (which produced the R100) Managing Director

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #301 on:** March 16, 2009, 05:34:25 AM »

The Burney Streamline (by Sir Dennistoun Burney of the Airship Guarantee Co) and the Maybach W1. Maybach was a supplier of Zeppelin (and railroad) engine, and was known as Luftfahrzeug-Motoreinbau GmbH" (literally "Airship Engine Company") until 1918.

I can't miss a day!
1923 Lancia Lambda and 1923 Audi Type K both cars are named after the (11th) letter of 2 different alphabets
1923 Audi Type K and 1932 Burney Streamline both designers started on airships
1932 Burney Streamline and Maybach W1 one manufacturer built the engines for the airships made in the company directed by the other

when the game gets though...

Er, no.
Paul Jaray worked on Zeppelin airships (Friedrichshafen, Germany) and Dennis Burney was MD of the Airship Guarantee Co. (Howden, England)
The link was simply that both designers started on airships.

I'll fix that, thank you. Never heard of this Paul Jaray...

This kind of connection (part of one car's name is also a name of a part that has been introduced for the first time in the other car) has already been used with:
1898 Renault Type A 1½ CV and 1929 Tracta T11 (first car with CV joint)

The rules also say that I should take away one of your points if you do not change your wrong reply after 24 hours. But I will do that only when I think that the reply is not a serious one, or when it's just a shoot in the dark. You connection was good, but already used, that's why we move on and you will keep your points.

75america · « **Reply #309 on:** March 17, 2009, 07:48:58 AM »

Ok, new attempt:

Maybach W1 and 1967 Meccanica Maniero 4700.
Both have a badge featering a double 'M'

I hope this one is valid!

D'oh!

This is valid and VERY original!

Ehhxekt · « **Reply #312 on:** March 17, 2009, 05:48:10 PM »

Meccanica Maniero 4700 1967 and Ascort TSV 1300 1959. Both are coachbuilt specials based on a popular production car from a different continent.

The Michelotti-styled Meccanica Maniero was based on the Ford Mustang; Ascorts, built by the Continental Coachwork Ltd. of Sydney, Australia, had VW chassis.

Perfect, and very nice picture!

Ascort TSV 1300 1959 and 1958 TVR Grantura I

Both cars have a fibreglass body

That is good!

Ehhxekt · « **Reply #316 on:** March 25, 2009, 06:40:23 AM »

TVR Grantura Mk I 1958 and Healey Tickford Saloon 1951. Both are standard production models named after the body manufacturer.

Of course, we can find many cars where the coachbuilder's name is part of the model name but, as those cars are in most cases special versions of some base model, only an additional part, like in, say, 'Bristol 406 Zagato'. What makes the two cars above special in this respect is that neither is a special; here the name of the coachbuilder is used as a standard model designation (from Grantura Plastics and Tickford Motor Bodies, respectively).

[I have to say that since now, only 75america Ehhxekt DynaMike and neilshouse helps me writing the connections in this form: car-car-connection and the reason. Thank you, I really appreciate!

75america · « **Reply #318 on:** March 25, 2009, 03:55:58 PM »

I don’t know if this one will be valid but I give it a try:

Healey Tickford Saloon 1951 and Volkswagen Type 3 (1966)

Both are from a brand that later on made a car in collaboration (without a merger) with another brand.
Special is (and this is the link) that each time both brand names appeared on the car. (Austin-Healey 3000 and VW-Porsche 914)

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #319 on:** March 25, 2009, 05:18:19 PM »

This is not the first connection between manufacturers and so it's OK.

VW Typ 3 1966 and British Anzani Astra Utility 1956. Both cars have a luggage compartment above the (underfloor) engine.

75america · « **Reply #321 on:** March 29, 2009, 06:02:09 AM »

Anzani Astra Utility 1956 and Biscuter Commercial Rubia . Both are ‘woodies’

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #322 on:** March 29, 2009, 08:43:04 AM »

Biscuter Commercial Rubia 'Woodie' and 1983 Nissan Sentra (this one with extra wooden bits).

The Biscúter was the brain child of Gabriel Voisin, who was born in 1880. The Nissan was a product of a spinoff of the Nissan Konzerne. founded by Yoshisuke Aikawa, also born in 1880.

Connection: both cars existed because of visionaries born in the same year (1880).
