2 - is St.Thomas Tower in Malta
d - could be a Thomas Hill Steam Machine from Rotherham

You are right on all three identifications, congratulations. Car S and Architecture 2 do pair, but the connection to the missing Extra is closer than just by name. Unfortunately I didn't notice the possibility to link Extra d to S-2. Anyhow, the combination S-2-? is locked for you.

F = Stimson Scorcher, designed by Barry Stimson
26 = Stimson Memorial  Hall, Gray, Maine
h = Bajabug - usually a modified VW, Barry Stimson's contribution towards the Bug craze was the Stimson Mini Bug based around a Mini

So F - 26 - h

So F - 26 - h

F-26-h is the correct combination, F and 26 are correctly identified, but I need a little bit more information about h, as the connection is a bit closer than the one you mentioned. Locked for you of course.

Any ideas, targhediferro? I'll unlock soon.

Unlock....I have no further ideas.

Is it that Barry Stimson himself said that he decided to design the Mini Bug after seeing a Meyers Manx beach buggy in 1968. The beach buggy led to the Baja Bug as a cheaper alternative?

[Wendax]

No, the connection lies within the pictured Bajabug.

[Rusty Chrome]

The Baja Bug in the photo is a replica of the Tamiya Sand Scorcher R/C model alongside - sharing the Scorcher name with the Stimpson creation?

[Wendax]

That's it!

I think I've got another one.

Q = Champion 500G estate car
18 = The Champion Motors Tower, Bnei Brak, Israel
u = Tempo Wiking pick up - Powered by the same 452cc twin cylinder 2 stroke Heinkel engine as the Champion

Q - 18 - u

[Wendax]

Very good!

T = 1948 Mossison Electricar milk float

23 = The Morrison Bridge in Portland

o = The Thyssenkrupp SunRiser electric car

T - 23 - o

[Wendax]

T = 1948 Mossison Electricar milk float

23 = The Morrison Bridge in Portland

o = The Thyssenkrupp SunRiser electric car

T - 23 - o

You have correctly identified T and 23 (except for the typo), they are of course connected. But neither is o the Thyssenkrupp SunRiser, nor is it connected to T-23.
T-23-? locked for you.

I've got it! All the time I was thinking what on earth was the link in the 'extras' to Jim Morrison as of all the famous Morrisons it had to be something to do with him. The only musical thing was image g , but although its a pretty ropey picture, even on a bad night it looked nothing like Jim Morrison. Then, as I was trying to identify one of the other pictures as Morrison something, Van Morrison came up, the light shone and very quickly I found the cover of his album 'This is where I came in'.

So it's T - 23 - g

[Wendax]

Well done! Jim Morrison would have been to easy, wouldn't it? 

[Wendax]

up again

Until further notice there will be a restriction at pro level: You are only allowed to have a guess at one car within 24 hours. During that time span you can ask further questions concerning that car and its Architecture and Extra combination. But if you want to have a go at another car, you'll have to wait until the 24 hours since your first question about the previous car have passed.

I: F.A.T.A. Aurea
5: Domus Aurea
how am I doing so far? Is the extra also related to the Aurea name?

So far, so good. The extra has another connection though.

I-5-? locked for you.

[pnegyesi]

is the connection related to Ceirano?

[Wendax]

No

[pnegyesi]

is there a connection to Nero?

[Wendax]

No

[pnegyesi]

Is there a connection to Turin?

(BTW I have another car and an extra identified, can I reveal these and ask a question or only once I finish the current one?)
