#8. Not European, not North American, not South American, not African, not Asian, not Australian : what's left, New Zealand ? Sorry, looks like I steered you wrong when you first asked! It IS European, my apologies! I think it got muddled up in the big list answer...
#19. Roy Axe ? Nope not him.
#20. Autostudi C-Sport Qatar ? Autostudi is correct, but not that one. Locked for you.
#22. Fiat 131 ? Not the 131 either.

#8. Autobianchi A112 ?
#19. Trevor Fiore ?
#20. Grecav Sonique design study by Autostudi
#22. Fiat Ritmo/Strada ?

[DHoffmann]

#2 - DPE Technology? That's the one I was after. From what I remember that is their umbrella company from which the E-Vade was born, even if it was simply a backyard 'company'.
#22 - Fiat 126? Nope

#8. Autobianchi A112 ? No it's not.
#19. Trevor Fiore ? Not him either.
#20. Grecav Sonique design study by Autostudi That's the one!
#22. Fiat Ritmo/Strada ? Yup, this was a design prototype for the Fiat Ritmo before they landed on the final version.

8 - Not Italian.

19 - Define big? It's a name that should be quite familiar and has featured here before.

[oko94]

#8. Made in France ?
#19. By big I mean something like Rover or Austin. But considering your remark I guess he worked for a smaller make, like TVR or Lotus.

8 - Not French.

19 - Correct, his work featured on smaller makes predominantly. Not TVR or Lotus.

Indeed, and now for the name of the project! Still held for you.

#8. Austin Metro ?

[DHoffmann]

#8. Austin Metro ?

...I'm awful at reading and typing it seems!

Sorry, it's NOT from the UK, 19 is. Whoops!

[oko94]

[DHoffmann]

Reading everything twice now! 

No, not Spanish.

As ever, incredibly impressive! Indeed it is, also through our good friends Sbarro.

That leaves only the project name of #19 held for you for 1 answer and then that's all she wrote!

#19. Designed between 1955 and 1960, Ogle Design, Tom Karen : the problem is that Tom Karen joined Ogle Design only in 1962, so was it a Tom Karen project designed before he joined Ogle, like the Rascal ?

Edit : in fact I've just read an interview of Tom Karen and he said that before joining Ogle Design full time in 1962, he worked for them for a while after his departure from Ford, so this puzzle could indeed be a late fifties Ogle Design project designed by Tom Karen. Unfortunately I haven't found any information about it yet.

You are absolutely correct, this is indeed Tom Karen's Rascal 600 project! I understand it to have been prior to his joining Ogle. I'll add this picture and some other images I have to the Rascal thread that exists already here on AP.

If I'm now correct in thinking, that's it for this interior puzzle! Congrats on an absolute stack of points!

[oko94]

That was an awesome puzzle once again, I'm definitely looking forward to your next group puzzle !
