I'm afraid this will be my last GEO puzzle as it's not easy to find appropriate cars..
In this puzzle again the names of the cars are linked with the names of the places.
As usual one point for each correct match. Only complete answers will win!
Awarding of score will be at the end of the game.
I've tried to make it not too easy and I reckon I was successful... :D
Enjoy!

Sorry, that's close but not correct. Give it another try. Locked until your next reply.
Oh, I see -- it's the Hotel Ritz in Paris, not the London one.

I think #4 is a Jordan, made in Cleveland, Ohio, which would match picture S: a photo of the River Jordan by Karimeh Abbud, also known as "The Lady Photographer".

To be honest, my guess about the Jordan was based entirely on the pattern of louvres on the side of the bonnet. I had the picture below of a 1929 six-light sedan which seemed to match.
But looking around, that two-tone paint job seems to match the Jordan Eight Speedboy model, also of 1929, and it looks like the dual-cowl phaeton body.

Every time I find a picture that seems to match car #4, it's called a Speedboy, dating from 1929 to 1931. I think it was also known as Model G, but if that's wrong I'll have to give up.

Judging your source I guess you know more than me about that car. I had it simply saved as 'Jordan Tourer 1930', but that seems to be incorrect. The lower pic of your last post appears to be the exact puzzle car, so well done, and another point for you! :thumbsup:

Not sure whether this was a yes or a no. So I just try:
#3: Turicum 10/12 hp - D: Zürich
#19: I'm not sure of the correct name for this car. I have seen it referred to as a Parnell BRM V8, but it is currently raced as a 1964 Parnell RP64 (I'm pretty sure it's the same car). In either case it perpetuates the name of the late Reg Parnell, British racing driver and team manager.
This links to place B: Holy Trinity Cathedral in Parnell, a suburb of Auckland, New Zealand.

I didn't say yes as I've guessed that you knew that you were on the right path. ;)
"Turicum" is the old Roman settlement what later become the city Zürich. Etymologically it's still easy to see.
Another right pairing!

Correct! My source reports that it was equipped with a BRM V8 machine. It was built and a transformed from a rejected Climax RP64 F1 project.

I'm still puzzled about your ID of car #12. It looks absolutely like the Royale Sabre and it is obviously RHD. The Royale Sabre was initially built by the Royale Motor Company, later on by the Vintage Motor Company, which was bought by the Asquith Motor Carriage Company. Meanwhile the European rights were sold to the Dutch company RB Design which sold it as the Empire Sabre. Right now there are attempts to revive the Sabre by ACL Automotive Creation Ltd. as well as by Asquith Mototrs themselves.

Is #2 some kind of Phoenix?
This is a bit of a guess. I've been trying to match something to Place M, which I think is a drawing of the floating pavilion at the Bang Pa-in palace complex in Thailand, formerly Siam. This complex was the summer palace of the kings of Siam.
I can't find a picture, but there was a car called a S.I.A.M. made in Milan around 1922, which didn't get past the prototype stage. Could that be car #14?

Nonsense! There's still one unsolved car. :shiner:
About 12 car, this magazine cover shows the Car at the same photo spot (without the roof top). They called Royale Sabre
I guess it's better to declare this as solved soon. :-\
However I have another name for this car, probably given by the German importeur.
Hard to guarantee the reliabiltiy of my source...
Was Gerhold Reitmeyer the importer?
:bump:
Sorry for the late reply.
I don't have the name of a single person, but of a company.
Reitmaier's company was called VFI ("Vehikel für Individualisten"). Is that what you are looking for?

For the British car, yes, but my car was sold by some distributor in East Germany under a different name. (at least according to my source!!!)
I decided to declare this group puzzle as 'almost' finished now and moved it to Solveds.
However I leave that final gap open for someone in the future who can solve this last mystery.
I cannot tell if my source is reliable in that case or not, so let's close it down for now.
