Topic: The Name Chain - CLOSED

[Djetset]

BTW - when are you going to post all of those "to follow" pics? 
[/quote] I'm currently far from home and my PC, so using only my iPhone, which I still don't know how to save images on (just in case any fellow puzzlers do know?). I will upload all of the missing photos when I get home tomorrow. Anyway, to continue..,

1992 Bizzarrini-Ferrari BZ2001 Prototipo (photo now here, but may not add the others if the chain sequence is now null and void).

The Artz Cordett has a GSI badge on its grille (it even had an Opel logo earlier on), so let's go on with an Opel Manta GSI.

But it was never called Artz Opel Cordett or Artz Cordett GSi.

Which is also my line of thinking. Too late now.......

I tend to agree with Wendax, as neither Astra nor GSi were mentioned in the post, so maybe we should rewind and start again from #541 as other Artz matches can be found, if others agree.

The problem being that my Artz Cordett was the second "Artz", We now need to find another Cordett or a variation on the Artz name.

[Djetset]

So how about a second Artz. There are a few to choose from, but I can't post one as I posted the first Artz...

Trabant P70 Coupé

I hate to spoil the party, but officially there's no such thing as a Trabant P70 Coupe to the best of my knowledge, as this car is an AWZ P70 Zwickau Coupe (later Sachsenring), which pre-dated the more famous Trabant, and was badged as AWZ and VEB. The puzzle should therefore revert back to the Trabant P50 and continue from there IMHO, if Otto/admin agree (?). Sorry, but..!

Sorry for not double-checking this one...

Who says you can't?!
I agree with going back to #541 so just need Otto's final nod..

I think this is one of the most fun and cheerful post. But somehow it has become stressful, because you never know who's gonna complaint your post.
I checked all the thread and almost everyone has posted at least one car with possible complaints, like designer, origin, nicknames or whatever nominations not related to official name of the car and linked to the next one.
I invite you the revisit it.

This puzzle is both fun and frustrating because the aim of the game is (1) to try to close a chain and (2) to prevent others from doing that. I have the feeling that it is going to its end, as many combinations have been tried.

As it is written, so shall it be done

Wartburg 353 Jagdwagen

[Wendax]

Correct name is Wartburg 400 Jagdwagen. 

[Carnut]

Correct name is Wartburg 400 Jagdwagen. 

OK, thanks.  I found both but there seemed to more pictures captioned 353!
I'll change it then to Wartburg 400 Jagdwagen.

As Otto said we should go back to post #541 so the last handful of posts aren't valid anymore anyway.

Sorry for having caused such a controversy with my dubious attempt at answering to nicanary's clever Artz Cordett post.

I think we all agree that this puzzle is both very entertaining and very frustrating.  Otto has allowed us quite a bit of leeway with some of the so-called connections. Personally I don't like the idea of ignoring hyphens in a car's title , but I'm in the minority so will go along with the flow. Then we have the problem of deciding whether a car built under licence in another country has its own brand identity even if that brand's name doesn't appear on the badging - surely the name of an overseas "holding company" isn't the marque name?

If we all continue to take liberties this thread could go on for weeks more. So I'll continue to treat it as a bit of fun - you lot can get as serious as you want.

We already did that..
We went back to #541 Djetset's Artz Sciwago which was then, after ignoring lots of other posts, followed by PJ's #560 the Artz Golf Speedster, followed by the Opel Speedster and so on.

So the posts since then are all valid and we are currently on the Wartburg 400 Jagdwagen, waiting for the next one in line!

Actually nicanary, I quite like the idea of a car known in one country as one thing but then having a completely different name in another country.  If a car was marketed somewhere with a different name then I think that's a fully valid post!
