Solved: Rust still doesn't sleep

[Wendax]

The limit of 6 correct guesses has been lifted, so 4popoid, Paul Jaray and targhediferro can join in again.

[Paul Jaray]

Is B-7 a correct pair? B is driving me mad!

[Wendax]

Yes 

[Paul Jaray]

It's a Stanguellini then? Can't find the right model!
However, 7- Is the Guzzi-powered Stanguellini Colibrì. B- Should be another Stanguellini. I'll try to find (again) the right model.

[4popoid]

Is AH-3 a correct pair?  I suspect it might be, but can't find a common connection.

Yes, 7-B locked for you.

Sorry, but with now only three pairs to find I will not answer any pairing questions without identifications.

Ok, I hope it's a '750' like the one in the following pic (that is the closest I found so far...).

[Wendax]

Yes, it is.

[targhediferro]

Are perhaps J-10 a couple of Mercury's backs?

[Wendax]

Are perhaps J-10 a couple of Mercury's backs?

Sorry, but J was already identified as a Ford Vedette Cóupé and found its counterpart.

Sorry, Paul, I just had another look at my solution. It is not a Stanguellini 750 S, but a Stanguellini xxxx S. Have another guess!

[Paul Jaray]

Oh, well...I guess it's a 1100S, then. 

[Wendax]

That is the one.

[4popoid]

I believe AH is an invalid car by Automobiles Gateau of Machecoul, France.  Picture 3 is a photograph taken during the Paris student riots of May 1968, some of which were at, or near, the L'Hôtel national des Invalides.  Therefore I'll try: AH-3 with the connection being invalids/invalides.

[Wendax]

Sorry, AH is not a Gateau and not an invalid carriage.

[4popoid]

Another day, another theory.

I think AJ is is an early Land Rover 90/110, which, if studied closely, appears to be fitted with extended breathing/exhaust tubing (snorkel) for passing through high water.  24 is a photograph of American Sherman tanks, used in the 1944 invasion of Normandy, which are fitted with large rear intake/exhaust ducts for coming ashore in high water.  Therefore, I'll try: AJ-24, with the connection being vehicles modified for operation in high water.

[Wendax]

Sorry, AJ is not a Land Rover, while 24 shows indeed a Sherman tank like it was used in the Normandy invasion.

[4popoid]

Clarification please.  Is my connection theory (high water) correct, and I just have the wrong marque for AJ, or does the pairing have nothing to do with Sherman tanks that just happen to have high water traversing capability?.

[Wendax]

The high water traversing capability is not part of the solution to any of the pairings left.

[Wendax]

A hint: the remaining pairings have to do with a name, a place and a car's user.

[4popoid]

I'll try AH-3 again, but with a different connection.  AH could be a Marden minicar manufactured in Paris (Neuilly), while, as I said previously, 3 is a photograph taken during the Paris student riots of May 1968.  Therefore the connection is a place, namely, Paris.

[Wendax]

Wrong car, wrong connection

[Wendax]

To solve the last ones, you have to identify the car first I think.
E has been featured at AutoPuzzles before (in a better shape),
AH is a French microcar,
AJ is not British.

Any identification of these cars will earn you a lock.
