Very good!
Continue this chain for 1 to 4 points use any connection but do not use these:

-Both cars have the same: builder,

model's name,
country,
city of construction,
year,
engineer,
engine,
engine layout,
seating layout,
position of the engine
source of energy,
number of CV,
traction,
body style elements,
mileage radius,

-Both cars: are one-off,
have one exceptional technical spec,
have similarities in the steering mechanism

star in a film,

Like the Bédélia, the AV Monocar had wire-and-bobbin control of a centre-pivot front axle as a steering mechanism.

Perfect!

I'd know a 'connection' of this very car in this picture, rather than of the car as such...

Let me guess, a Humber 9/28 ?

Yes!

DynaMike · « **Reply #206 on:** February 04, 2009, 04:01:16 PM »

The AV Monocar could be linked to this 1968 Tecno-Daf F3 racecar since they both do not have headlights...

That's clever, even if it is strange on a street-legal car but it is not on a race car!

Well the 1968 Techno-DAF F3 has belts as the variable-speed part of its transmission and so did the Benz Velo of 1894

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #210 on:** February 07, 2009, 04:45:15 PM »

That's good but it sounds like a "both cars have the same mechanism" link already used for the Bédélia and the AV Monocar. I know that are different parts of the car, but in some cases I take the connection as general as possible, otherwise there will be really an infinite number of "same parts" connections! But a "same transmission" can be fine. Is it OK for you?

Allan L · « **Reply #211 on:** February 07, 2009, 06:01:25 PM »

the Bedalia/AV connection was centre-point and wire-and-bobbin steering. If you just call it "same mechanism" it would rule out a lot of interesting connections yet to come.
My point is that the change-speed mechanism involves belts in both but not in the same way - so it's not "same transmission" - you'd have to go to a modern CVT (or old Zenith-Gradua) for that.
Final drive in each case is by something else. (unlike some cyclecars (e.g. Bédélia) where that was the final drive and had nothing variable about it).

That's fine, I'll consider a "similarities in the steering mechanism" in order to alllow more "mechanism" connections. I did this way because I though that you all were bored of a neverending list of same-device links, but it you say so, it means that probably you will keep on guessing!
About your last one, I got your point, just trying once again to make a general connection, but I was wrong, nothing to do with a transmission, it was a change-speed mechanism. I will consider "similarities in the change-speed mechanism".

Techno-DAF F3 1968 and Benz Velo 1894 similarities in the change-speed mechanism (both involve belts)

I'm sure it can be linked!
I'd do it myself, but that's not the way of this game, is it?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #215 on:** February 11, 2009, 12:27:31 PM »

The last one get the point, so, if you are the last one, there should be no-reason for you to continue it, even because the 30-days limit to get the score will start after your last post. On the other hand, one can try to lead the chain toward a car that is very obscure and hard to connect in order to end the game. I'm sure this is not your intention and that's why I will introduce a new rule: after 1 week without guesses, the last one can add a new car, linked to his previous. In this way, you can decide to wait one month or to change the last one every week in your advantage.

Let's say Benz Velo and this 1971 Alpine A110 1300S, as they both had a rear-engined scheme. I think this connection has not been proposed yet?

No, it has not!

The Alpine could be linked to this 1957 DKW F94 Limousine, since both had Brazilian equivalents: the Willys do Brasil Interlagos, and the DKW-Vemag Belcar.

Djetset · « **Reply #219 on:** February 12, 2009, 03:02:10 AM »

Italian coachbuilder Fissore designed coachwork for DKW that was unique to the Brazilian market (below). Volkswagen also had an 'Italian' body unique to Brazil with the Karmann-Ghia TC (and VW ultimately became the owner of the DKW marque!). Hope this helps to keep things rooling.....

Djetset · « **Reply #220 on:** February 12, 2009, 03:03:32 AM »

Ah, lost the DKW Fissore pic, so here it is....

Djetset · « **Reply #221 on:** February 12, 2009, 03:06:38 AM »

Curses, this Fissore seems too shy to want to be seen! Hopefully third time lucky it will apear now....

Excellent!
Before I get lost...
Alpine A110 1300S 1971 and DKW F94 Limousine 1957 both had equivalents in other countries
DKW F94 Limousine 1957 and Karmann-Ghia TC 1970 both manufacturers had a specific (Fissore's) coachwork for a country

VW Karmann-Ghia TC 1970 and Nash-Healey Pininfarina Roadster 1952

Both have a name referring to three different manufacturers at the same time. (As TC stands for 'Touring Coupe', some might say there is even a fourth one here

)
