Let me present You a special #70 puzzle:
As You see below there are 10 pictures of cars to be identified and 10 names of the places these cars came from. One little "but" is that the names of places are a little bit mistyped ;) So, I'll give one 1 for correctly identifying the car, 1 for telling the correct place and 1 point for correctly pairing the car and place! You can always tell only the car or only the place to get one "safe" point ;)
P.S. To make it easier please write Your answer in format letter-number, for instance K-11..
Good luck!

Wow - nice Puzzle, Arunas!
B-07: Car 'B' appears to be a Turner Sports, which has probably a Coventry Climax engine; that would link it to town #07.
A very cool puzzle indeed! :thumbsup:

You'll get 1 point for Coventry, but Your identification of car and linking is wrong..
Car I is the GFG Elisar (made 1986 by GFG Gerhard Feldevert, Exklusiv Cars GmbH) which matches with 06 Gronau

Exactly!
What about E-4 - JC Midge, built by John Cowperthwaite in Sheffield?

Was it too easy? :o
QuoteWas it too easy? :o
Well – it took me checking quite a few British roadsters from the thirties to find out that the car was a replica...
Another attempt to find a hometown for 'B': if it isn't a Turner, then it must be an MC Acer, a copy of the Turner Sports Mk I, re-engineered and built from the mid-eighties by Mark Clarkson in Sheffield. The project was later passed to Carlton Automotive.

And Your answer is?
Oh yes, I forgot to put it into the proper format: B-4. As we seem to have now three towns to be linked with two cars, one of the cars might be of twofold origin, I guess. Not a vintage car specialist, I only have ideas for the towns still hidden in anagrams: #02 must be Gaggenau, #08 is possibly Brussels.

Cities identification is good, but Your pairing is still wrong.. Make sure You have a correct pair and write letter-number car, city
Perhaps F-2. That's if F is a Bergmann Liliput (or Libelle as it has a tonneau) which was made at Gaggenau

There seems to be some confusion here. I found that there exists a company named 'Carlton Automotive', operating in Brussels, Wisconsin, but I could find no trace whatever of their activity as a Turner replica builder. According to my sources, the later examples of Acers were built by the British kit-car manufacturer Carlton Automotive Ltd., still residing in Royston, Barnsley, South Yorkshire.

You are very close to the correct answer, so let's finish it!
G looks like a New Orleans, but as that was a Vivinus built under licence I shall say:
G-8 Vivinus built in Brussels
Quote from: Arunas on November 03, 2008, 11:31:42 AM
08 ) SURBLESS = BRUSSLES (Identified by Ehhxekt)
You mean Brussles I suppose?
B, as Ehhxekt says looks like a Turner, and is actually an Acer made by Carlton Automotive.
Turner was in Wolverhampton
Carlton was/is in Royston, Yorks
so why is this linked to Coventry
Here's the photo in B, in colour and with a numberplate

Oh no! That was my huge mistake! I am very sorry! Coventry is out of topic in this puzzle, but since it was included and solved, then 3 points goes for You!
Points added! Puzzle finished! Thank You all for solving it! Nicely done, guys!
