Neverending Chain, now closed!

[metalshapes]

DongFeng Brave Soldier and Kirkham 427 KMS/SC.

Both cars are said to be Reverse Engineered from their originals.

( the Hummers that were appearently left in China by AMC, and Shelby Cobra CSX 3104 which the Kirkham's owned. )

[Otto Puzzell]

Kirkham 427 KMS/SC and the Kaiser Traveler (1949 model here)

Each was built in a mothballed, decommissioned military aircraft assembly facility. 

[Paul Jaray]

Good!

[metalshapes]

Kaiser Traveler and '63 Mini Cooper.

Both seem unlikely choices as a Police car, but were used anyway.

[pnegyesi]

We already had a connection with body style elements, but not with body parts!

'63 Mini Cooper police car and 1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa V12 (Chassis No 0704) - 2nd prototype

Both had outside door hinges.

[Paul Jaray]

Wow!

[metalshapes]

1957 Ferrari Testa Rossa V12 (Chassis No 0704) and 1939 Alfa Romeo Tipo 158 Alfetta.

Both of their engines were designed by Gioacchino Colombo.

[Paul Jaray]

Another original one!

[Otto Puzzell]

Alfa Romeo Tipo 158 "Alfetta" and the BMC ADO15 "Mini"

Each model nickname alludes to the car's diminutive size, compared to its stablemates.

[Paul Jaray]

 

[metalshapes]

BMC ADO15 "Mini" and 1967 Lamborghini Miura.

Both the Mini and the early Miura's had a transversely mounted engine that shared the engine oil with the gearbox it was mounted to ( if I remember correctly, the later Miura's did not because it gave them troubles.)

[pnegyesi]

1967 Lamborghini Miura and 1966 Ford GT40 - both had modern day reincarnations: the Miura Concept was shown in 2006, while the Ford GT was built between 2005-2006

[metalshapes]

1966 Ford GT40 and 1931 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 tipo Le Mans.

Versions of both of these cars won LeMans 4 times in a row.

[Paul Jaray]

One better than the other!
(we already had 'both cars had lateral revival project's', (Veritas and Nomad), but the Veritas was not a specific model like the Miura and the GT40)

[pnegyesi]

1931 Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 tipo LeMans and
1931 Maikafer prototype

Both were designed by someone who was of Hungarian origin.

The Alfa Romeo was designed by Vittorio Jano, who was born as János Viktor to Hungarian parents who moved to Italy before Janos was born.
Maikafer was designed by Josef Ganz, whose father was German who married a Hungarian girl and Ganz was born in Hungary

[metalshapes]

1931 Maikafer prototype and the 1936 Tatra t-97.

Both have been named as an inspiration for the 1939 KdF wagen.

[Paul Jaray]

When I started this chain I didn't think it was going to last soooooo long, that is great!

[Otto Puzzell]

1939 KdF Wagen and the 1960 Chevrolet Corvair.

Each was later adapted to a rear, air-cooled-engine, cab-over pickup derivative (VW Type 2 and Corvair Rampside)  AND a military vehicle (German Kübelwagen and the US XM-571 / CL-91 Dynatrac.

[Paul Jaray]

The last one will definetly get more than 1 point!

[75america]

1960 Chevrolet Corvair and Ford Pinto.

Safety of both cars was heavily criticized by Ralph Nader with lawsuits as a result.

[Otto Puzzell]

The pinto rears its head yet again! 

[guido66]

Ford Pinto and Panoz Esperante

both cars were the base for a flying car

[metalshapes]

Panoz Esperante and the Lancia beta HPE ( Volumex )

Both were available with a supercharger.

[metalshapes]

BTW...

The link was the Tatra, not the KdF.

( I made the same mistake with the Charger link, but I caught it in time and Deleted it...)
