BMW 2002 - the 200 is a series #, the second 2 means it had 2 doors.

Half credit - The 2000 referred to the 2 litre engine. Oddly enough, the 1600 produced at the same time was not referred to as a 1602 that I recall. Also
interestingly, they made a model called the 2000. They also had a 2003 hatchback, but I don't think they exported that to the States.

So did the 1800 have a 1.8 litre engine?

I presume so. I can't recall that model. Myself, I would love to get a Volvo 1800E and turn it into a rag top...

Instead get a 200 series volvo and put a small block chevy v-8 into it!
Oh, and the 45 refers to the caliber/barrel diameter. |

It is named Colt 45 because it was once sold in 47.6 fluid ounce cans (1.7
litres).

I'm still waiting on the Jag and GT40 numbers.
Here's a softball: What does the '250' stand for in the Ferrari 250 series of the fifties and sixties ( James Coburn's 250 California Spider recently sold for more than $10 million ) |

GT stands for grand tourisme i am not sure about the 40. I am pretty certain it is not engine size, I think it has something to do with the body style or size.

No. It was on the bottle before twatty pimpkins was even born.
I think it's because jesus was 33 when he died. |

Knew the Jag and GT40 info. Damn wiki-ers.
Doesn't the 250 have to do with the wheelbase? |
