A8 - Gulf of Mexico || Gulf Vitesse...???

I'd generally like you to be more specific. Who is building the Gulf Vitesse? And if the answer was the Gulf, why would I leave so much of it out of the picture? ;)

But again, your pairing is correct. You're close, so I'm holding the point.

I've already written.. Maybe M Way ?

And I've already said that you're leaving out the most important detail. It should be the easiest thing in the world now that you have found the correct geographic location.

??? I'll say it is M11, but did You see links I provided? (reply #13) ???

UPDATE! Yes the google says that it is BRM Buggy M11 Way  ::)

That's a wrong pairing.

And I'm not going to narrow it down for you by answering your question - after all, it is an Expert puzzle.

You're going to have to start looking! This one is not going to be solved by asking questions ;)

Correct. The points are yours.

That leaves locations 4, 6, 9, and 10, and cars D, I, K, and L.

I know what location 4 is and number 10, too, but can't match any of the cars....
Number 10 is the city coat of arms of a particular city I know. Is the car's name the same?  ???

location = particular city, island etc. or could it be also the name of a building, place, monument etc.?

The coat of arms in #10 is indeed linked to a city. The name of the city is part of the name of the car.

Rmm... I expected car #D to match with location #9, but the car's name doesn't sound like any location-name, even though one could say it looks quite nice...

This is a general clue: If you think you know the car and can't match it to any of the cities, why not try to find out if the car could be known by more than one name?

Just if You want to give potential points for someone else.. I also have similar problem with another puzzle.. still can't find if my assumption about the correct pair is right. I know the car and place but just can't find what picture it is :(
