Lotus Elise and Austro-Daimler Maja



Both were named after a lady who had a relative who was important in the creation of the vehicle (it's a twist on a previously featured connection :))

Lotus Elise was named after Elise, grand-daughter of Romano Artioli, then owner of Lotus
Austro-Daimler Maja was named after Maja, the other daughter of Emil Jellinek (his most famous daughter was Mercedes).

Opel GT and 1950 Saab 92: both cars have to live without a bootlid
:lmao: 
We had this:
-Both cars:               are one-off,
                          are the high-output version of a standard model
                          are limited production based on production cars
                          are standard production models named after the body manufacturer
                          are concept cars\prototype used by books\movies\... characters
                          are coachbuilt specials based on a popular production car from a different continent
                          are factory-built 2-door pillarless coupes based on the regular 4-door sedan/saloon model
                          are woodies
                          are pick up versions of sedans also being offered
                          are missing of a part

but I think it's different here, it's not a car without a vital part like the Monocar and the Techno Daf without the lights!

So both are OK.

OK how about the 1950 Mercury and the London taxi, which is made by the Manganese Bronze group.
Both manufacturers are named after metals!

It is, but I would have accepted also a Mars Electric, or a Jackson Six...

London Taxi TX4 and 1968 Checker - Ghia Centurion.
Both are made on a chassis specially made for taxi purposes
(I had some difficulties with the link description, but I think you get the point)

Ghia Centurion and Karmann Typ 1 from 1965, both cars have different (asymmetrical) side views.
