The last pair must be #2 and #E. #E is Tel Aviv-Jaffa. Is #2 some kind of Jaffa Special?
Yes, which one? Locked for you to finish this – apparently again – much too easy group puzzle!
You may unlock as I didn't find anything so far, and my knowledge and sources about British (I guess) sportscar specials are very limited.
Your wish is my command! Unlocked again!

Allemano

The last one is an internet find, so, it should be solvable I think...

Allemano

The car is called the "Jaffa _ _ _ _ _ _ "
It appears as the first entry, when googled properly..

That's it! Did you find it with help of the 'Pegasus'?

So, it's finally solved. I'll tally tomorrow!

Oguerrerob

I've found it in old race cars page (There's a lot of 'Cold' AutoPuzzles about old race cars)

Nonsense! There's still one unsolved car.  :shiner:

Oguerrerob

About 12 car, this magazine cover shows the Car at the same photo spot (without the roof top). They called Royale Sabre

Allemano

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...

Wendax

Was Gerhold Reitmeyer the importer?

Wendax


Allemano

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?

Location is right. Car is wrong.

However when I'm home later I'll declare this puzzle as solved as I'm not able to verify the info my source provides.  :-\

That's definetly the right match, but according to my (unreliable) source the car wasn't clearly identified, yet.


Otto Puzzell

I'm pretty sure the full name is Vintage Motor Company Ltd Royale Sabre
You wanna be the man, you gotta Name That Car!

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.

The score:

Wendax: (impressive) 12 points
Tom_I: 4 points
Otto Puzzell, Oguerrerob, ftg3plus4: 1 point each
