NM_05 - Lotus Europa
NM_11 - Jaguar E-Type Coupe special (can't remember the coachbuilder / body maker but I'll have a name tonight, as soon as I get to my DB)

One of the first guesses was NM_05 = Lotus Elan, but I have to repeat that it's not the correct answer.
It's indeed a Jaguar, but not an E-Type special...

Would Maserati Khamsin be too easy for #16?

Djetset · July 28, 2009, 04:10:23 PM

One of the best puzzles I've seen for ages. Well done. ;D Here's my small contribution to some answers;

NM05: Hispano-Aleman Castilla
NM09: Isuzu Bellel
NM16: Lamborghini Urraco
NM19: Toro Coupe (VW-based, made in the Philipines)

NM05: Hispano-Aleman Castilla :)
NM09: Isuzu Bellel (Bellet?) :(
NM16: Lamborghini Urraco :(
NM19: Toro Coupe (VW-based, made in the Philipines) :)

That would be too easy.. ;)

Allemano · July 30, 2009, 05:11:50 AM

Not too many left for Pros, but guess they will clean up the remaining four.

DynaMike · July 30, 2009, 07:32:12 AM

I think that NM15 might be a Seat 600 with Milton body.

Very close, but no! Not this one...

#16 MC2 by Francisco Ejarque

Allemano · July 30, 2009, 12:03:41 PM

I knew you know this! :thumbsup:
Do you know if it ever was completed? It must have been a great looking car!

The hardest one is already solved I guessed! :-\

Paul Jaray · July 30, 2009, 12:07:21 PM

I looked in the site where this car was shown but it is not been updated since June 2007.. :-\ and this was the last stage:

Allemano · July 30, 2009, 12:10:02 PM

Yes it's from the same source I have. I couldn't figure out if this is a restauration project of a formerly completed car or if it never was finished.. ???

João · August 11, 2009, 09:13:48 PM

And number #15 is the 1966 Seat 600 made by Corver-Serra! ;D ;D

Correct!

Paul Jaray · August 22, 2009, 06:13:44 PM

Is the missing one Spanish?

Allemano · August 23, 2009, 03:18:30 AM

Which one? There are still two cars unsolved.

Paul Jaray · August 23, 2009, 05:50:32 AM

#9 , because I think #2 is a rebodied Simca, or something like that.

Allemano · August 23, 2009, 11:09:00 AM

Maybe you're a little upset now, but to be honest: neither #9 nor #2 are from Spain. ;D
BTW: #2 is not a rebodied Simca or something like that..

Paul Jaray · August 23, 2009, 11:10:21 AM

Perfect!

guido66 · September 23, 2009, 02:25:09 PM

Is #9 from Japan?

DynaMike · September 23, 2009, 02:37:02 PM

Or is there a link between #9 and BMC ? Somehow it looks like being based on a Farina model (Oxford/cambridge)...
