Hello everybody!
Let me briefly introduce You my special #100 puzzle.
Below You can see 10 pictures of cars and ten mistyped names of objects. Yes objects and not only the geo places like in my previous special puzzle. This time You have to correctly identify the car and find how it is linked to one (and only one!) of these mistyped objects.
There are no points for only an identification of a car of telling the real name of an object.
A puzzler will get two points for: correct identification of a car & correct identification of an object & correct, reasoned linking of car&object.
Note: the points will be awarded once the correct answer is provided.
Good luck! ;)

01 - REAL TEACH = CHATER LEA
02 - ROUT ASIA TALUSH = SOUTH AUSTRALIA
03 - LE LANTSS
04 - ZENITC = ZINTEC
05 - SK LEMONS = SMOLENSK
06 - MIFIGN LEAN

Interesting puzzle.
I'm absolutely 100% clueless. I know half of the cars, but cannot for my life make words out of those bunches of letters...
...but then again, luckily, I'm a Pro, so I'm not allowed to guess ;D

If there are no answers this may soon go for the pros ;D
Object 08 has been changed!
Just to get this clear... the mistyped names of the objects are anagrams of the real names, so they have the correct letters in the wrong order?

Yes indeed! These are the anagrams of the real names of the objects that are related to the cars.
Well H is Andrew Getley's Chater-Lea special, and 01 has the letters for CHATER LEA

Good! Two points for the easiest one ;)
Argh... I had this car as Chater-Lea Singer Martin Special... Because of that Singer I was looking for letters to form SEWING MACHINE or MICROPHONE ;D

Yes! That's the accurate name of this car.

Yes! That's the accurate name of this car.
I wonder who calls it that and which makes you so certain it's accurate.
When we Dated it for the Veteran Car Club, there was a story that linked it to Lionel Martin but no evidence. It has a Singer engine, which Chater Lea cars do not normally have, hence we Dated it as a (1914) Chater-Lea Special. There's a lot more about it which I can't remember as it was 10-15 years ago and I didn't write the report.
That's the name that I have for this car.. I am not an expert of these oldtimers.. The points are Yours as the correct answer has been provided but there are still long ways to go before this puzzle is completely sold. Good luck! ;)
Let me add, then, that A is the Trev, built by students at the UniSA - University of SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Or ROUT ASIA TALUSH, if you like.
C is Iso Isigo, and that goes nicely with 08 - ISO RIVOLTA. Do I have to explain why? :D
B is the 2002 Ultima, a one-off reportedly built by Russian Andrei Nagornyi in his garage in SMOLENSK, or was it SK LEMONS?
D is a 1976-77 Dutton Cantera, one of six built, by Dutton Cars in Worthing, WEST SUSSEX. Or STEX SWUESS...
E appears to be a Buckland B3, built by Dick Buckland of Newport, South wales. Its chassis is made of ZINTEC (or ZENITC) steel.
And G is the 1996 Bonetto Miki, meant to be based on the Fiat CINQUECENTO, or CONQUE TECNI as you prefer to call it ;)
Finally, J is obviously a Bugatti belonging to the Type 35 family, or a replica (the wheels don't look right for that time, do they?). If it's one with four valves per cylinder, it would, according to Wikipedia, be carrying the BRESCIA, or CIRB SEA, moniker. I would rather think the first one, as I've never heard of a Bugatti Cirb Sea. But who knows?
The last one is a guess. But the other five, I think, are correct.
Thats's perfect! All Your answers except for the last one are good! Well done!

Correct!
I've never seen the front view, but I think car I may be the BBC by Beretta from BRESCIA (10).

Exactly! ;)
Car F is a Canadian Brock Six from 1921.
Its origins in the plans of baker and car salesman William Riley Stansell. He incorporated a company called Stansell (03 - LE LANTSS) Motors Ltd, but before any cars were built it had been reorganised as Brock Motors.
Car J is a Dri-Sleeve Moonraker, built by Dri-Sleeve Car Co, Warminster, Wiltshire when 3 partners took over the old Opus firm. Replica of a Bugatti Type 35, powered by a Ford Cortina 1600 GT engine, using Ford and VW parts, made of fiberglass and aluminium, in kit or assembled, only five or six were made. A sleeve was supplied to protect the driver's right arm. Goes with MIFIGN LEA, why? Because it's the only one left, and because it's the title of a Ian Fleming's book of 1955.
Was thinking about IAN FLEMING, but I can't find the second N, no matter how hard I try :P
