@Sandie > it seems to work in some cases and not in others, I'll investigate
edit: very strange, what was not working yesterday now works, the only bug remaining is that it uses the displayed name to do the search, which fails in the few cases where the display name is different than the identifier, like Triumph bikes or makes with accents, I'll fix that easily.

About Mini/MINI, I suppose splitting them between two different makes like the two Triumph would not make much sense. I could add something to change the case depending on the chassis code.
I'd say the best default would be uppercase, and switch to lowercase only if it has one of the few chassis codes of the classic Mini, i.e. starting by "ADO".
Only the few old ones without chassis codes have to be updated then, cf https://www.imcdb.org/search.php?resultsStyle=asList&sortBy=2&make=Mini&model=&modelMatch=- 3&modelInclChassis=on
What do you think?
Or should I also apply that in case the year is specified and <2000 ?
