Let's try this:
The Gordon Keeble had Dunlop disc brakes and knock-off wheels.
The MGA Twin-cam had Dunlop disc brakes and knock-off wheels.

OK, not sure I get what you mean for knock-off wheels, but..

Gordon GT 1960 and MG A 1600 Twin Cam 1958 both cars have the same wheels\disc brakes

Knock-off wheels are what we call them when they are secured by a single eared nut which is tightened/loosened with a hammer.
This usually means Rudge-Whitworth splined hubs (and wire-spoked wheels), but in the case of the G-K and the MGA the Dunlop disc wheels have pegs to transmit the drive/braking.

Both cars are the high-output version of a standard model.

Good!

Djetset · « **Reply #233 on:** February 19, 2009, 07:10:14 PM »

The Steyr-Puch 650 TR had an extended roof spoiler that enveloped the rear window to aide aerodynamics; an idea that was reintroduced in the early 1980s on the MG Metro with a spolier wrapping around the rear window.

You mean "both cars have the same body style elements" like the fins in the Amphicar 770 Cabriolet 1963 and Cadillac Coupe de Ville 1960 link?

That would assume that the aerodynamic effect was imaginary.
With most tailfins and with some "spoilers" that is undoubtedly true, but here I think we have effective devices rather than just "body styling".

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #236 on:** February 20, 2009, 03:38:52 PM »

Ok, sometimes it happen that I do not get your connections right. You can help me writing them as simple as possible, like:
both cars have this and that, were made by this with that, etc etc, SO:
car1 make-model-year and car2 make-model-year because: the reason if few words.
In the short explaination of the reason try to be as generic as possible, do not use "both cars have extended spoilers to help aerodynamics" but something like "both cars have devices to aid aerodynamics" so that nobody else can post for example other 2 cars with other devices (pointed noses, covered wheels, ailerons, tonneau covers....) for the same reason.

@Djetset is this OK for you?

Steyr-Puch 650 TR 1964 and MG Metro 1982 because both cars have devices to aid aerodynamics

neilshouse · « **Reply #237 on:** February 21, 2009, 08:45:16 AM »

1982 MG Metro and 1984 Peugeot 205GTI, both cars were the basis for racing cars, (group B rally cars, MG Metro 6R4 and Peugeot 205 T16).

DynaMike · « **Reply #240 on:** February 24, 2009, 05:02:59 PM »

The 205 was called a 'sacré numéro' (holy number) in its adverts, so it could be linked to a Citroën DS (Déesse = Goddess) like this 1956 model because of the religious connotation...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #241 on:** February 25, 2009, 03:09:30 PM »

"Sacré numéro" was the name of a special version of the 205, available with 1124cc 60cv, 1360cc 75cv and 1580cc 89cv.
Can you define better your connection?
Peugeot 205GTI 1984 and Citroën DS 1956 because?

DynaMike · « **Reply #242 on:** February 25, 2009, 03:33:32 PM »

I didn't know it was only a special version of the 205... but even then:
There was a special version of the Peugeot 205 called "Sacré numéro", and because of this religious connotation it could be connected to this Citroën DS 1956 (Déesse = Goddess).

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #243 on:** February 25, 2009, 03:48:28 PM »

Peugeot 205GTI 1984 and Citroën DS 1956 the name of a car and the name of a special version of the other (Sacré numéro - Dèesse)
Citroën DS 1956 and what car? why?

Allemano · « **Reply #244 on:** February 26, 2009, 11:37:37 AM »

I know it may sound a bit strange, but Jaguar XK120 and Citroen DS share the same list of an international beauty contest. (amongst others..., but in this case I've picked the number two. So far there ain't no Jaguars on Paul's list if I've read correctly.)

Hope showing the link won't cause any problems:

Jaguar XK120 1954 and Fiat 8V 1952. Both cars have a coachbuilt version of the same design.
