    Time for a further clue I think…

    The V you’re looking for is the name of a composer.
    Please Sir, is it Varese?

      Two continents - NA and SA (thanks to Pulcinella for this!): Etude pour Espace by Varese
      Alchemy/Tarot - Tarot decks consist of major and minor Arcana (another Varese work)
      Lancia motor HQ is in the town of Varese

        You're welcome (and I'm sure you're right), but I don't even get the continental association with the piece.


        Is there any way that the little video clip can be disabled from running continuously? My head's in a whirl like the tumbleweed!
        I didn't pick up a clue from that either.

          The only association I could muster was NASA - Space - Espace!

                Varèse is indeed the V

                But before you prepare your W, there’s a little more work to do on the three works involved.

                One element is Arcana

                You haven’t specified the continental one though I think you’re almost there…

                … and Lancia is based in Turin I think so you haven’t got that one yet
                "...the isle is full of noises,
                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  It’s more straightforward than that!

                    Amériques, north and south?
                    It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                        I actually managed to misread what I was perusing about Lancia (blaming semi-lurgy and work distractions!) ...

                            Still struggling with the Lancias... once this has been solved, could some kind soul provide a W? I will likely be offline for the remainder of the day, due to Miss T's birthday celebrations.

                              Anyone?

                              Shall I serve the coleslaw, or wait a bit longer (e.g. till someone offers a W)?

                                Well out of my depth on this occasion - even after the answers and explanations - but good to see that the invitation to revive AA has been taken up so enthusiastically.
