For my information ( since I got into this one kinda late ),
this is just for fun, right?

No points are awarded?

...but it will give from 1 up to 5 points to who will find the last ring of this chain.
If no-one will be able to continue it without repeating an existing connection, points will be awarded:
Somewhere I wrote how I will decide if a connection will worth only one or 5 points:
5 points: only these two cars can be connected with this link (I used this example: a builder's son driving one car had an accident with the son of another builder)
4 points: very few cars may be connected in this way (like yours, about JFK and Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria)
3 points: not very direct
2 points: quite direct
1 point: quite easy (same name, same year, same builder, etc...)

1968 Lotus 49B and the Vels Parnelli VPJ6

The former was the first to use the Cosworth DFV in F1 racing. The latter was the first to use the turbocharged version of the engine - the Cosworth DFX - in the USAC Champ Car racing series.  Each engine went on to dominate its respective series for a number of years.

Vels Parnelli VPJ6 and  Eagle T2G.

Both teams have the name of the owner in them ( Vels Parnelly and Gurney Eagle ), who were Hot Rodders that ( amongst other things ) raced Nascar, and both teams were active in F1 and Indy.

1951 MG TD and Morgensen/Bird Special.

Both were saved by me by buying them, and both are ( slowly ) in the process of being put back together.

 ;D  ;D

The TD was a real succes story...

I was at a Swapmeet and it was sitting on the ground with a sledge hammer leaning up against it, and a sign saying you could wack it with the sledge for a buck per blow.

The guy wanted to see it destroyed, and I had a hard time negotiating a price so i could take it home.

It was an old Drag car, and its now re-united with the son of the guy who used to own and race it...


when I bought the Morgensen spl, the guy I bought if from told me he was going to turn it into a Field Car, for his kids to play with.

I only later found out it was the missing and forgotten Special built by Dick Morgensen for Tracy Bird.
A full sistercar to the '54 Morgensen Plymouth spl. ( which later became famous as ol' Yeller, when Max Balchowsky owned it )

That sounds great, but the connection should somehow qualify these cars...it's not possible to use links such as 'this Yaris and this Focus because they are both grey', or 'these 2 cars because my parents had them'...
...but since it's Xmas time, and I like your cars, I think that 'both cars were saved and are under restoration by the same buyer (who is incidentally an AP member!)' will be fine!

Then these might still not qualify.

I found and bought them both, but I only kept the Morgensen spl.

The former owners son is doing the MG...


Edit.

They were both found in Arizona...  Maybe that helps?

If not, I understand... ;)

But I thought that especially the MG TD was worth a mention, because I bought it under such bizarre circumstances.
And the family it was re-united with doesnt even live in this State....

If the Morgensen special holds true, then I have a connection.
Dick Morgensen was a Porsche-Volkswagen dealer.

So here we have a Hispano-Suiza Cabriolet by D'Ieteren, which was also later a Volkswagen dealer.

So the connection is: both cars were built by Volkswagen dealers.

No, it's a game and I did not have the time to reply...
for example this 'Eagle T2G and 1951 MG TD Both are in museums with a name which starts with a D' is on the edge...and the one about the Bentley coachbuilders is good, but the connection should be between the Bentley by XX and the Bentley by YY and not between XX and YY, that's why I slightly changed it.

But I know that sometimes these rules are only in my head and that's why I prefer to let go and to let the fun continue without being to strict about it.  ;)
