Topic: Solved: A Nice Pair

[Wendax]

I thought it was the right time again for a mindbending headscratcher. Here it is, a group puzzle following the Cars and Places pattern. As expected there are 12 car pictures and 12 pictures of locations. These range from "worldwide known" to "unknown to all of us". So in some cases you will have to know the car and some details to find the right place, in other cases the place might help you to identify the car. The connections are not always straightforward, of course. I think the puzzle is tough enough not to impose a limit on the number of answers allowed. One point for each correct pair including the connection I had in mind.

Have fun, I surely will.

[Wendax]

Sorry, neither of your guesses is correct.

[ValkyrieGT]

Car10.jpg is a 1974 Hendon Racing replica of a Jaguar XJ13. Place3.jpg is Hendon Town Hall, England.

[Wendax]

Car10.jpg is a 1974 Hendon Racing replica of a Jaguar XJ13. Place3.jpg is Hendon Town Hall, England.

First correct pair found!

[Wendax]

This seems to be a Premier League puzzle.

[Tom_I]

It certainly looks like one.

I have hardly got anywhere with this so far, apart from Car 11, which I think is a La Licorne Type 164 LR, and Place 10, which is the Stade de la Licorne in Amiens, France.

[Wendax]

That's a fine beginning for many hours of sleuthing to come.

Car 3: 1913 Spacke cyclecar mfg. in Indianapolis, IN, USA - Place 8: Fred Spacke house in Indianapolis

[4popoid]

Car 4: BMW 1602 Electro Antrieb (E10) prototype introduced at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games - Place 2: 1972 Olympic Stadium in Munich designed by Frei Otto.

[4popoid]

Car 7: Swiss produced Holka-DKW F8 (Landi) by Holka of Zurich, from about 1939 – Place 1: Cable cars (gondolas) installed in Zurich in 1939

[oko94]

Car 1 : Spijkstaal Elektro Bestelwagen built in Spijkenisse, The Netherlands. Place 6 : views of bridges in Spijkenisse, The Netherlands.

[Wendax]

Car 3: 1913 Spacke cyclecar mfg. in Indianapolis, IN, USA - Place 8: Fred Spacke house in Indianapolis

That's correct.

[Wendax]

Car 4: BMW 1602 Electro Antrieb (E10) prototype introduced at the 1972 Munich Olympic Games - Place 2: 1972 Olympic Stadium in Munich designed by Frei Otto.

Correct, too.

[Wendax]

Car 7: Swiss produced Holka-DKW F8 (Landi) by Holka of Zurich, from about 1939 – Place 1: Cable cars (gondolas) installed in Zurich in 1939

The car is correctly identified, the place is nicely located, but there is a tiny link missing to connect these two. Zurich alone is not enough. This combination is locked for you.

[Wendax]

Car 1 : Spijkstaal Elektro Bestelwagen built in Spijkenisse, The Netherlands. Place 6 : views of bridges in Spijkenisse, The Netherlands.

Yes, correct. These bridges resemble the fictional bridges depicted on the Euro bills.

I'm not sure exactly what you are looking for, but the 1939 cable car transporter in Zurich was constructed for a Swiss national exhibition known as "Landi".  As previously stated, the Swiss built Holka-DKW F8 was called "Landi".  Is this the connection that you need?

[4popoid]

Car 5: Falcon kitcar by JBA Engineering - Place 12: Falcon's Lair, the home of Rudolph Valentino in Hollywood, California.

Yes, that's the missing link. Landi is a short term for Landesausstellung (national exhibition).

Car 5 is not a Falcon, the place is correctly identified, though. No comment on the connection.

Are points awarded only when all puzzles are solved ? I'm still at 207 but I should have 208 pts.

[Wendax]

Sorry, I forgot to mention. As usual in group puzzles, the points will be awarded at the end of the puzzle, when all pairs are found.

[oko94]

Alright.

I've identified place 5, whose name evokes a car manufacturer, but I don't see a car of this brand in the remaining cars. Is that a case of tricky connection, or is there an obscure car from this brand featured here ?
