Although Argyll and Allard are both British, there is an important distinction as Argyll was from Scotland, whereas Allard was from England!

The 1952 Allard P1 and the 1906 Rolls-Royce Light Twenty
Both won International competitions driven by their constructors (well more or less!)
Sydney Allard Drove an Allard P1 to win the Monte Carlo rally in 1952
The Hon C.S. Rolls drove a Rolls-Royce Light Twenty to win the 1906 Tourist Trophy

1906 Rolls-Royce Light Twenty and 1924 Cottin & Desgouttes 12 HP

Both brands are named after both their founders (Charles Stewart Rolls and Henry Royce - Cyrille Coutin and Pierre Desgouttes)
One of the founders of each company also produced cars under their own name (Royce and Desgouttes) before they founded the double-named brands with their partner.

No one dares?

Let's try this:

Cottin & Desgouttes:

In 1907, the company also produced a 9.5-liter, 30 hp, six-cylinder model, as well as a 2.5 liter, 12 hp model that was so well accepted by the public that is was produced without any major changes for more than four years.

Prima (France):

1906-1909 Ste des Automobiles Prima, Levallois-Perret, Seine

These cars were made by Leon Lefebvre who had previously been responsible for the BOLIDE. In 1906/07 two models were listed, a 9hp single-cylinder and 10/12hp 4-cylinder, and for 1908 the single was joined by larger fours of 12/15 and 20hp. Eash type was available on three wheelbases, and wide range of bodies was offered, tourers, doctor's coupes, limousines, landaulets, delivery van and trucks. They had unit construction of engine and gearbox, which was very advanced for the time. Two cars were entered in the 1907 Coupe des Voiturettes that did not distinguish themselves.

source: Beaulieu Encyclopedia Of The Automobile

The link: Both companies manufactured a model with very similar power units at (almost) the same time.

Can you specify?

1924 Cottin & Desgouttes 12 HP and which car? Both companies manufactured a model with very similar power units at (almost) the same time

Arunas · « **Reply #435 on:** May 09, 2009, 10:58:21 AM »

Let's say with this one posted: 1906 Prima Type 3 (probably other engine - I don't really know)...

(so any C&D or Prima would fit, I supposre...)

Prima 12\15 HP 1906 and Alfa Romeo 1900 Granluce Primavera 1957. The model name of the second car incorporates the brand name of the first.

The 1957 Alfa Romeo 1900 Granluce Primavera and 1977 Jaguar XJ12 Coupe. Both cars are factory-built two-door pillarless coupes based on the regular 4-door sedan/saloon model,

Allan L · « **Reply #441 on:** May 12, 2009, 05:04:51 PM »

1977 Jaguar XJ12 Coupe and 2008 Cheetah Coupe.
Both makers of these coupes are named after members of the cat group of animals

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #442 on:** May 12, 2009, 05:23:00 PM »

Cool...

Ray B. · « **Reply #443 on:** May 13, 2009, 04:05:04 AM »

Cheetah is also the name of Tarzan's chimp companion, in the Johnny Weissmuller films at least.
In "Tarzan and his mate" there is also a character named Tom Pierce ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025862/fullcredits#cast )

Before it became Pierce-Arrow, the famous brand's name was just Pierce.
So: 2008 Cheetah Coupe and 1907 Pierce Great Arrow 6 cyl.
Boths cars bear the name of characters from Tarzan movies (unfortunately I couldn't find a car named Jane or Tarzan).

Ray B. · « **Reply #444 on:** May 13, 2009, 04:14:24 AM »

Eh, I found a car called Tarzan

So here is a better and much funnier link. Let's forget the Pierce !

2008 Cheetah Coupe and Vaz Samara Tarzan: one car bears the name of the pet companion of the second.

Ehhxekt · « **Reply #445 on:** May 13, 2009, 09:03:03 AM »

VAZ Samara Tarzan and Felber Excellence 1977 Both cars have a name containing only one vowel repeated six times.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #446 on:** May 20, 2009, 02:45:41 AM »

It seems we have a winner...or not?
(Ehhxekt, if you want you can continue with another car now)

75america · « **Reply #447 on:** May 20, 2009, 02:24:58 PM »

Felber Excellence and 2005 Fisker Tramonto

Both cars are heavily based on production cars ‘Pontiac Firebird’ and ‘Mercedes SL 55 AMG’, most modifications concern the front and rear but both original cars are still clearly recognizable. On top of that, both have a V8 engine, are made in a limited production run (12 and 150 cars) and the brand name under which they were sold is named after the companies founder.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #448 on:** May 20, 2009, 02:55:17 PM »

Good. I know that this link is the sum of different connections, but I'll accept only the new ones, otherwise we will start again!!

Felber Excellence 1977 and Fisker Tramonto 2005 both cars are limited production based on production cars

Djetset · « **Reply #449 on:** May 22, 2009, 03:03:36 AM »

The Fisket Tramonoto and the Aston Martin AMV8 Vantage.

Both cars were designed by the same man, Henrik Fisker.
