Since there are many 'Guess the' threads around i felt like joining in, only this time it will be a tricky question, once one question has been answered i will post the next and any relevent pictures to display the answer to the previous.
Right lets begin:

Haha, Obscure-alicious. I'm pretty sure I know the answer, so rather than spoil the fun, I'm gonna add an equally obscure clue.

Next:
Q: How did Aston Martin get its name?

[UK CARS]

two blokes (called aston and martin) had a garage and bulit a car...then more cars then EVEN MORE :)

[UK CARS]

linoel Martin turned his passion into a business in 1913, when he joined forces with Robert Bamford to sell Singer cars – adapting them for the tough up-hill challenges that formed an important part of early motorsport. The partners wanted to manufacture cars of their own – and a name was needed. Martin regularly competed in climbs at Aston Hill – and with the simple combination of a hill and a driver, the Aston Martin legend was born.?In 1914 Bamford & Martin Limited bought premises in Chelsea, London – and the following March, the very first Aston Martin car was registered. :)

[Spastik_Roach]

Umm here goes this is off my head

Lotus
Ford
Renault?

[EvilPaladin]

Chevrolet
Ford
Lotus
Mercedes-Benz
Opel/Vauxhall

Maybe Caterham too, but I'm not sure about that.

[motorsportnerd]

By my count 14 (counting the various Ford/GM owned companies..)

Lotus

Chevrolet
Opel
Buick/Oldsmobile/Cadillac (a 3400 V6 engine project)
Pontiac (super duty DOHC 16v engine project)

Ford
Aston Martin

Rolls Royce
Bentley

Mercedes

Panther

Caterham.

And one motorcycle engine - a 750 cc twin-clyinder for Norton Villiers Triumph (amazing what you find on the net...yeah I cheated).

I assume, Suka, you've either being reading Cosworth:the search for Power by Graham Robson or looking at the Cosworth website??

[Suka]

I reckon 14's about right given the number of GM companies.

This one's more clear cut:

What sportscar featured Vauxhall Viva (Kadett?) suspension, debuted a Climax derived engine and what on earth does it have to do with the MG SV??

Tell me if these are too easy!!!

[Spastik_Roach]

I'll say Qvale Mangusta cause it had something to do with MG SV? I dunno what I'm on about..

[lithuanianmafia]

the qvale, as S_R was goin on about. and it has to do with the SV-R b-cus MG/Rover bought out qvale, and used the base of that car for the SV-R, I beleve, i could very well be wrong

[Suka]

With Vauxhall Viva suspension!? Nope.

[lithuanianmafia]

With Vauxhall Viva suspension!? Nope.

guess i was wrong then :p

[Suka]

This one is quite hard then?

[Suka]

Oh no!!!!! Given up! Come on guys!? Hint?

[.:DB9:.]

Clue please! This must be wrong but could be correct ... Co-driver to Gwyndaf Evans (MG Xpower Rally Team); Howard Davies first experience driving a car was in a Vauxhall Viva .. and being on the MG racing team his company car is a new MG SV Xpower. I got the whole MG teams autographs on a piece of card with everything about them on the back at the 2001 Birmingham NEC Sportscar show.
