Hi, all... it's strange-user-name-guy again! It's time for another themed group puzzle, since I seem to do better with those than other kinds. All the cars pictured here have one very simple thing in common. One point for each car guessed, of course; no points for guessing the theme, though, because it'll be quite obvious once one or two of the cars' names have been guessed...

OK, I know it's only been a few days, but I think this one needs to be thrown to the Experts.

Only one of the above guesses is correct:

06 - 1972 TX Tripper - pnegyesi

Let's see how long it takes for the theme to emerge...

AP17 is an AV Monocar, 1919 built by Ward and Avey.

I have no idea on the theme - yet

I think I see a pattern. Brand name is two-letter long

Ah, hang on, AP15 is GP Madison

You've got the pattern right -- brand names are each two capital letters, to be exact. Note the oh-so-subtle clue in the title ("Another AP Group Puzzle").

But AP15 is not GP.

The link is that all the marques have a two-letter name, and I have the following to add;

No.9: GP Centron
No.14: DB DB2
No.15: NG TC
No. 18: AF Spider Grand Prix
A car is for life, not just for Christmas.

Well done!

05 - SP Spi-Tri prototype - pnegyesi
06 - 1972 TX Tripper - pnegyesi
09 - 1978 GP Centron - Djetset
14 - 1939 DB DB2 - Djetset
15 - NG TC - Djetset
17 - 1919 AV monocar - pnegyesi
18 - AF Spider - Djetset

(From what I can find, there is the AF Spider & the AF Grand Prix but not an AF Spider Grand Prix.)

2 & 8 are correct, but do you really think I would include something as common as an MG?  ;)

It´s hard to find these cars!  Could it be an AC 16-80?

You mean, hard to search for because of the 2-letter names? Believe me, I know what you mean!

Anyway... no, not an AC.

#1 is indeed a GN. However, #3 is not an HE.
