The Name Chain - CLOSED

Alpine Marquis

It's happened again. I bet you tried to remove your post for the Sunbeam Alpine, replaced it with the VVA, and it's ended up here. Gremlins alert!

Indeed I did; fortunately I just seem to have moved it rather than removed it..
It's back where it started now!

Toyota Camry Vista

The Toyota Vista was not a Camry model but was a clone of the Camry

I hate to do this Otto, but I disagree, as in its domestic Japanese market Toyota has offered many derivatives of its confusing Mark II model family (the Camry being one of these, along with the Chaser, Cresta and so on) and a distinct Camry Vista model has existed for the Japanese market. Thus doesn't impact on the continuation of the chain anyway as a straight forward Toyota Camry would have done  :)

Sorry, but my moment to be pedantic, re the earlier Alpine Marquis post. Strictly speaking no such car exists with this naming structure, as this Jean Redele car was called 'Le Marquis' with the model name 'Coach' sometimes added. The Alpine marque name was introduced by Redele some while later with the first A106 model, launched long after the failed Le Marquis project.

I must admit I didn't bother to check out the image I found. Looking in Georgano and he doesn't even mention the name of this car, although clearly it influenced the first A106. You learn something every day on AP.

PS I am open to criticism about my last post. I have continued the thread by utilising the Spanish word for "the" which is probably stretching a point. I leave the decision to my peers as to whether this is acceptable. I am a very reasonable man.

I thought it was marketed as the Plasticar Marquis.  Since it never actually included the name 'Alpine' should we revert to the Alpine VVA?  There are plenty of other Alpines which could follow it, but what does Otto think?  It's his puzzle so his decision?  The 'Marquis' and anything following have not followed a connection.  If we do revert then nicanary's question about whether using the word 'The' is acceptable or not would be irrelevant...

I feel a bit sorry for Otto. I don't see why he should have to keep arbitrating simply because I don't know what I'm doing. It was a case of posting in haste - I really should have done some reference work first.

I reckon carnut's suggestion is the best. Maybe others won't agree, but meanwhile I'll re-start the thread with the much-loved and sorely-missed Talbot Alpine.

PS I'd like to resize my posted image but I'm pretty sure it'll end up in "news and information" so it'll have to remain. (The size selected was 1000 so it shouldn't be this big. It seems to happen sometimes. Weird.)

OK - going forward, "The" and all of its synonym words in other languages, are no longer valid in connecting one car to another.

Time to wrap this one up, I think.

Starting with the next car posted, there will be a 1-hour "shot clock", started. If a subsequent post is not made within one hour, the poster who started the clock running will be awarded the points.

I think carnut deleted this one, so it's still "available". Sunbeam Alpine.

Crikey does this mean staying up all night?!
With the time differentials anyone posting late at night in the USA means we'll all be fast asleep whilst the hour clicks around!  Similarly anyone posting here in Europe at 8 in the morning will catch all Americans napping!

You'll have to use some of Fangio's "bennies".
