Volvo PV 544      and      1951 Ford Taunus,    because both were known in Germany by the nickname 'Buckel...' ('Buckelvolvo' and 'Buckeltaunus')...

74,128 is the number that connects the post-war Buckel Taunus to this Kia Carens

For the Taunus it is the number of cars produced
For the Kia it is the number of km's on the odometer.

Strange but true, it's not been used before!
74,128 is the number that connects the post-war Buckel Taunus to this Kia Carens
For the Taunus it is the number of cars produced
For the Kia it is the number of km's on the odometer.
That is not valid...the connection has to be valid in general and the link can't be related to a specific exemplar.
Some exceptions can be done, like the 1st one built, a BMW Art Car, a prototype, a car that raced a specific race...etc, but I won't accept connections like "Fiat Punto e Lancia Lybra (both cars were owned by my uncle)" or "Renault Scenic and Citroen Xsara (both parked in front at that shop)".
The connection has to define the car. ;)

1961 Ford Consul Capri and 1959 Citroen Bijou.

The Consul Capri was Ford of England's first post-War pillarless two-door coupe, and...

The Bijou was Citroen of England's first (and only) post-War pillarless two-coupe coupe.
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

1959 Lotus Elite and Ralph Watson's  Lycoming Special.

They both had an engine which was not designed to power a car.

The Elite had a Firepump engine, the Lycoming Spl. had an Airplane engine.

Well the FW (=FeatherWeight) C/Climax was an 1020cc firepump motor but in about 1953 it was adapted for use in cars as the 1097cc FWA (=FeatherWeightAutomobile) and first raced at Le Mans in a Kieft in 1954. A 1460cc version was named FWB (I think B just came after A!) and the 1216cc FWE (=FeatherWeightElite) which used the bore of FWB and stroke of FWA was therefore the third generation of Automobile engine, so the firepump was getting a little remote.

so the firepump was getting a little remote.

Sorry, I disagree...

It is clearly the same family of engines.

And for example, it still had had some Fire Pump quirks in its Elite version.
Like the high oil consumption.
( because a Firepump needs to be able to run flat out right away )

Jay Chamberlain tried to explain that away in a creative way, in some of his ads....

The Coventry Climax car engine is very closely related to the fire pump engine. I sold this engine a few years ago, it is now powering a Bobtail Cooper, The head and block are the same, just the internals and ancillaries are different.

I think you are all saying the same, Metalshapes found the connection between the 2 cars (They both had an engine which was not designed to power a car) that is correct because (as also Allan wrote) that engine was indeed born as a firepump. I think Allan was adding more details about the engine that, even if it was born as a firepump, was later developed and in its stage mounted on the Lotus, was remotely connected to a firepump...and that's why I proposed this chain, to learn such details!

Lycoming Special and the Steyr Allard.

Both vehicles are named after the engines that powered them.

Steyr Allard, and the Allard Front Engined Dragster.

Both are Racers, built by Sidney Allard that had no cooling system on their ( foreign ) V8 engines.

The Austrian Steyr was aircooled but had no fans, which was fine for a Hillclimb Racecar.

The American Chrysler Hemi had no radiator, which was fine for a 1/4 mile Dragracer.

:shakehead:

You have not to justify your posts...as I wrote from the beginning, I can't know everything, that's why I rely on and I trust your connections.
If someone else disagree, well let's ear his opinion and then I'll decide...so far I accepted almost every connection I received (except for immaginary cars or connections already used).
That is a game, I like to keep it like that, if you'd like it too, let's play, if someone takes it serious, we'll accept every comment, but the decision will be taken according to the spirit of this chain: not the holy truth, but a fair and enjoiable game.
