A variation on a theme, but this time I needed only two images to upload.. ;)
Please match the cars with the places. As usual one point for each correct pairing!
Only complete ID'd cars and locations will win!
Hope this puzzle is a little more difficult than the last one.
Wendax solved it almost alone, so, roll your sleeves up! :D

Why? (http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g106/pan1968/Gifs/44.gif)
-
Because I can't match any of the cars that I recognise to any of the places, simple as that! If I didn't know any of the cars it wouldn't be so frustrating!

Can you tell a little more on this special Singer, though?
Locked for JMC!

I know it's a Singer Nine LeMans Special Speed from 1936 with a custom front end and it belonged (or still belongs) to a 'Mr. Huizinga'.

As car #10 is the Chameleon Typhoon I am guessing the constellation is Chamaeleon.
So 10 - J?

damn it
i knew the car but i couldn't find any info about that bridge
-
13 is the Warta, a prototype for a farmers vehicle made in Poznan,
e is the old river bridge at Schwerin on the river Warta, ( which is the neighbouring town to Poznan.
That is the limit of my Warta knowledge!

Transcontinental country then?

D is Nasr City, in Egypt, which matches to CAR 11, the Seat 133. The little Seat was later produced in Egypt by the NASR car company.

#3 Lola Daytona and #F Daytona Beach ?

number 10, may be a Chameleon Daytona, which would link to F, Daytona beach
-

Correct, though my source doesn't list it as a Seat, but "El Nasr". I don't know what's definetly right in this case. Declared as solved.

As mentioned before there's no Chameleon in this puzzle. The connection you've found is correct, though, but I have another name for the car.
Transcontinental country then?
No. That language is spoken by many people all over the world, but a lot more by elders...

Correct, though my source doesn't list as a Seat, "El Nasr". I don't know what's definetly right in this case. Declared as solved.
El Nasr is made by Egypt's El Nasr Automotive Manufacturing Company, founded in 1960.
-
Allemano and Pguillem are correct, El Nasr 133 is how the little Seat was sold in Egypt.
-
before I move it to Professionals: are you ready Experts?
-

The french Ariès vehicle manufacturer?

Which one of these?
-
SA Ariès, Courbevoie, Seine
Founded in 1903 by Baron Petiet
I would say J connects to car #15, which is most likely an Ariès.
Ariès Grand Sport?

Ariès Grand Sport?
It's the right company and it's indeed car #15, but I have a different name for that particular car. Locked for you for one more try!

Maybe Ariès 15cv GP2?

No. Open for all! (except of Pro's of course)

#2 = Triumph Toledo proposal
H = Main square in Toledo, Spain
I was going to put this ages ago but didn't someone say H was Seville and that was deemed correct?

Sorry, but this is wrong on both counts.

No, wrong connection. However the place is right, but..
Maybe I should have said: it's the right place, but...

Car #3 / Cowley MkIV. Built in the early seventies by the initiative designer Bill Cowely, who’s earlier cars had include elastic band suspension, this car had many well thought out design features - not least its mid-engined layout. In a class noted for small, lightweight cars, this one stood out by being of go-cart proportions. Not withstanding the fact it was the only car with a roof! it still managed to be one of the lowest F750s racing at the time. (most of the drivers in clubman style cars in this racecould see over the white hardboard behind the car.) A very low frontal area was achieved by placing the engine and gearbox behind the driver. To achieve a mid-engine layout and still retain the beam axel, the gearbox, which was situated just behind the driver’s left shoulder, was attached by means of a short propshaft to the diff. The engine was turned through 180 degrees and placed alongside the gearbox facing backwards, the two being clamped to an aluminium adaptor plate. To provide drive, a toothed belt joined the output shaft of the engine to the input shaft of the gearbo
Place M / Oxford Military College, Cowley, Oxfordshire, as it was drawn in 1884 by architect T.G. Jackson

This connection is tenuous, as I cannot link more than the coutnry of Span, but here goes:
Car #14 / 1927 Motores y Automóviles Ricart 226, built by Spaniard Wifredo Ricart, who would later be the father of the Pegaso
Place H / The Plaza de España is a building in Maria Luisa Park, in Seville, Spain built in 1928 for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929

Mr Puzzell, you really left me speechless.
It's right of course, but I do have a very clear and easy (not only tenuous) connection for this. And it's indeed "Spain" somehow...
Locked for you.

I'm stumped :scratch:
Please let another AutoPuzzler have a go at this one.

As you wish. Unlocked!

OK - let's try this: A 50th Anniversary Pegaso exhibit was held at the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona
March 21st through June 4th, 2001. Barcelona was Wifredo Ricart'S birthplace.

I don't think that this one has been solved yet, but Car #2 is.....
EDIT: Oops, sorry, I think this is still locked for Limo.

I almost did that, too. The 24 hours are up, but I defer to Allemano to officially unlock.

Sorry Limo, but this point goes to Mr. Puzzell as well.

only car #8 and #14 are still unsolved.
I would have guessed #14 is one of the easiest...
#8 is a little tricky and I'm very proud to found that connection. ;D

There's everything you need to solve it. No more clues from me now.

OK - maybe Limo can get his point back. :)

Well, this has been a struggle, but I think I have finally identified Car #8, the small 4-wheel steering transporter, as a Trenkle A52.
The link is obviously with Place L, the magnificent viaduct, and this is the Mintarder Brücke, which crosses the Ruhr valley near Mülheim in Germany, and which forms part of the A52 autobahn running between Essen and Düsseldorf.

Great work Tom_I! That's exactly what I had in mind!! :applause:
-
I'm not absolutely sure about the last one, but it's been established that Car #14 is the 1927 Ricart 266.
In 1928 Wifredo Ricart joined forces with the founder of the recently collapsed España car company, to make cars under the name Ricart-España. That would then provide a tenuous link to Place H, the Plaza de España in Seville, built in the same year.

Absolutely! It is a Ricart-España which matches the Plaza de España in Seville. Simple as that!
-
But the puzzle car is not a Ricartt-España.
I was being to literal, to my own detriment. :shiner:
-
I'd have to agree with Otto. If I've understood correctly the car shown was one of two prototypes made by Motores y Automóviles Ricart, a company which he established in 1926, and which pre-dated the link-up with España. That's why I wasn't sure it was the right answer!
-
Oh I see... apologize, but I believed it acutally IS a Ricart-España.
I think I remove this car from the result board then.
-
And another group puzzle has been solved. I hope you enjoyed it!
the scoreboard:
JMC: 6 points
Otto Puzzell: 3 points
navara: 2 points
Tom_I, Siata1 & Wendax: 1 point each
