For my puzzle number 200 I'd like to offer you something more than a simple car to identify.  I hardly dare to challenge with Wendax and his enigmas, but I hope you'll enjoy this game.
You have 20 pictures of 20 different cars; your task is to form 10 couples, putting together the two cars that have the very thing in common I thought about.   It is of course possible that two or more cars among the following 20 have some connection I didn't think about, but you have to discover the correct couples and the correct hint.
I must tell you that it is necessary to identify correctly the cars, but the hint may not depend from that particular model you have identified; for istance, if one car of the couple is a Fiat 500 Gamine Vignale, the hint may be simply Fiat or 500, two stroke engine, Vignale, Turin and everything else.

D-type

200-Q, the Fiat Multipla and 200-V the 1965 Land Rover Long Wheelbase Estate
both vehicle's are the manufacturer's attempt to provide transport for the larger family.

It could be, but they don't are a couple in this quiz.

Expert don't like this kind of challenge so much...so Pros can enter the battlefield...Rules are the same I told for Experts:  Pros and Experts are allowed to give no more than an answer for each post, waiting at least for another puzzler to post an answer before replying again; no more than three points for each Expert and Professionals.
Rookies are allowed to give all the answers they want, without a maximum of points.

How about E and O - both cars (Ford Classic and Troll) have a reverse-sloping rear window?

A nice idea, but E and O don't form a pair.

That's the first right guess, and the first point.

Wendax

B: Tornax Rex and M: Malzoni Gt, both DKW-based.

Perfect. Another couple, another point.

I'd pair 200-A with 200-U. They share their model name, referring to the streamlined body of the vehicle: 1936 Chrysler Imperial Airflow, 1939 Dodge Airflow tanker truck.

No, you mustn't wait; the rule is just no more than an answer each post and a new answer after another puzzler's post...so you're allowed to try again.

200 C: BMW 700 Colani and G: Hoffmann Hanno 501, both had a two-cylinder engine.

C and G are a correct pair, but the connection you found is not the one I though...locked for just another guess.

Wendax

Both have air-cooled engines.

targhediferro

Not that one...unlocked.

200-N : Is a 1934 Triumph Gloria, that used a Coventy Climax engine.
200-R : Is that a Lagonda Rapier? which also used a Coventry Climax.

Well, N and R are a pair, but R is not a Lagonda, and the connection is not about the Coventry Climax Engine.

Correct, the hint I was looking for is Donald Healey, who drove both these car in the Montecarlo Rally. Perhaps you should thank Craig. ;)

Wendax
