I did find an image of a Wayne, but it's a little different from car #3.

You are headed in the right direction. However,  a re-reading of the fist dark night (knight) clue is in order.

Oh, the sweet and clever clue that was...
Now, a joint venture by Allan L and Ray B.: Car #3 is a Vale (Allan), Tuner #25 is Jerry Vale (Ray)

in a PM to Ray who specifically asked me to look at it.

As I also said in the PM I largely ignored this one as I know nothing of the musicians (never even heard of most) and little of the cars.

It also doesn't look that much like any Vale I've seen, but it was my best guess

1932 Vale special with a Triumph 832 cm3 engine.
I could tell more in hungarian, but no one but Alecwolf would understand and that would be revealing my sources.

Well, maybe. Russian is the only eastern european language I know a little and I got mixed up. My apologies to all Czechs and Hungarian Autopuzzlers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vale_Special has a brief history of the marque, and links to some nice photos.

No need to upgrade this one, I think it is completely solved. The answers to 9, 11, 23 and 27 are somewhere above. Check.

I guess I get 10 points and not 12 because I got only 5 pairs (Car 3 being identified by Allan L) which is perfectly alright with me. But it would be rught to credit him on page 1 when you have time.

Thanks, Ray, but I'm not fussed as I ignored this one once I saw that the musicians were unknown to me and so were most of the cars - even the one I "identified" doesn't look right to me.
