1501: Don't give up.  ;) Another clue: 1 word, 1 letter and 1 word: all 3-letter palindrome words, starting with 'A'!
1601: Not 2...
10701: Not Pininfarina.

1701:MORRIS MINI MINOR, 1960
10801:ALFA ROMEO GIULIETTA SPRINT SPECIALE SERIE II, 1959

1501 : two palindrome words starting with A, so something like A_A X A_A.  My first Italian-like guess : ALA 1 ALA (with respect to Ala D'Oro")
1601 : ALCO (1) ?
1701 : many Minis.  I suspect a kit car.  May I have a clue ?
10801 : the racing version ?
To save weight, these racing versions had aluminum hood, trunk and doors, as well as plexiglass rear windows, and had no bumpers. Vehicle weight was less than 1,900 pounds. Compared to the later production cars, these pre-series cars also had a lower, more rounded front end, and are therefore commonly referred to as the 'low nose' configuration

Buona notte  !

1501: The maker starts with A and there are 2 palindrome words: Ala d'Oro is correct! +50
1601: Yes! +50
1701: My index is simple, if I list a kit car, you'll find the model name and not the donor  ;). In this case it means that this maker did something to a Morris Mini Minor and it can be listed under his name too.
10801; again, I listed this Alfa Romeo under another name too, because that other name did something to it. If you'll read "Aston Martin DB5 Shooting Brake" you'll knew right away the name I'm after is 'Radford'. If you read 'Lamborghini Countach' or 'De Tomaso Pantera' it can be 'Gandini' and so on.  ;)
10701: ?

1701 : Mini Van ?
10801 : your examples suggest the names of a designer.  Nuccio Bertone ?
10701 : Grazie !

93667, please
SUNBEAM 1.6, 1979
Sounds like a boxy Talbot to me.
Yes. I won't ask you which one in this case.
93667:10 HP TOURER WHITTINGHAM & MITCHEL, 1935

1701: You should tell me a maker\designer\tuner\coachbuilder and so on, who worked on a Morris Mini Minor in the '60s. Given the number, 1701, you can assume it's starting with 'A', and my clue is that is quite known.
10801: Bertone it is!
10701: ?? I already gave you that number, (FIAT 1100 COUPE VICTORIA, 1941). It's not Garavini or Pininfarina but one of the biggest ones.

93667:10 HP TOURER WHITTINGHAM & MITCHEL, 1935
I guess this number was chosen too close to the last one. Whittingham & Mitchel built tourer bodies for the Talbot 10 hp, so it is (British) Talbot again.

# 94112, please.

Yes, not the same company (one was a Chrysler branch and this was the Clement Talbot Ltd, but you knwo that) and in this case too I won't ask for the number.

Sorry, I can't find something about my last numbers;  I have not a lot of time in these days so I think I'd better quit.

As you prefer, thank you for playing!
In case you change your idea here are the clues:
65017:TOURING, 1957 sounds like the start of a Spanish sentence to welcome someone in your house, but it's Japanese!
75017:MODEL 6-40 5-PASSENGER TOURING, 1920, from the States, anagram of Demo Pint.
5017:T2A SALOON TURBINE, 1954, this is easy, from a series of British sperimental cars but you can't find this brand, it closed (but don't tell it to chinese people!)

1701 : Alec Issigonis ?
10701 : Allemano ?
May we continue with #100801 ?
