No19: Japanese?
No20: Swedish, probably Formula Vee?

faksta · October 12, 2010, 04:01:23 AM

There is one Japanese car, but not #19.

'S' stands for another country, not Sweden. Formula Vee is also one of them, but not #20.

#11 - Fitti Formula Vee?

faksta · October 13, 2010, 02:37:23 AM

Right country, right category, but another name.

pnegyesi · October 13, 2010, 02:41:39 AM

No11: Cross Vé (with apologies to woodinsight)

pnegyesi · October 13, 2010, 02:48:31 AM

No7: Bellco 96A?

pnegyesi · October 13, 2010, 03:02:01 AM

Is No20 from South Africa?

faksta · October 13, 2010, 04:02:31 AM

#11 is Cross Ve indeed.

But sorry, the others are not right. 'S' is not Southern Africa, it's a European country. The Japanese car which is present here is from a racing car manufacturer known better than Bellco.

To summarize the hints: three cars left, two of them are from Europe (#7 and #19, countries starting with G and S), one from Japan, from a well known manufacturer of racing machinery.

#20 is the 1971 "Panic". A formula junior racing car from Japan

faksta · October 24, 2010, 02:32:52 PM

Yes! From the people later known as Dome.

I think I even know which puzzle lead you to it

So, only two left, and not the most obscure among the whole bunch!

woodinsight · October 27, 2010, 02:31:47 PM

#7 - Germany (I've seen this illustration before - but where..........?)
#19 - Sweden?

faksta · October 27, 2010, 03:08:30 PM

No, sorry, neither Germany nor Sweden.

woodinsight · November 26, 2010, 01:58:38 PM

Is #7 a Formula Vee?

faksta · November 26, 2010, 02:41:32 PM

No, it is a smaller formula.

woodinsight · November 26, 2010, 03:00:36 PM

From a country starting with the letter S?

faksta · November 27, 2010, 04:35:59 AM

Nope, from G

faksta · November 27, 2010, 12:17:18 PM

OK, the countries are in fact Great Britain and Spain.

woodinsight · November 27, 2010, 01:27:53 PM

That's what I thought after a lot of deliberation.
#7 - I'm still searching for
#19 - Is it a Selex?

faksta · November 27, 2010, 03:30:34 PM

Not a Selex (there was one already in this set), but it ran in the same category as some Selex cars.

woodinsight · November 27, 2010, 03:48:11 PM

Lince?

faksta · November 27, 2010, 04:56:57 PM

No, but it became hot.

woodinsight · November 28, 2010, 04:51:26 AM

Apologies but I'm not very good at recognising single seaters.
There are not many Spanish manufacturers so I'll continue with Hispakart?

faksta · November 28, 2010, 05:21:14 AM

Why apologize? Do I look angry?

It is not Hispakart, though. The name is shorter.

woodinsight · November 28, 2010, 05:26:10 AM

Apologies for taking such a long time to complete this puzzle!
Let's try Etco

faksta · November 28, 2010, 05:31:56 AM

Not Etco.
