NM_05 - Lotus Europa
NM_11 - Jaguar E-Type Coupe special (can't remember the coachbuilder / body maker but I'll have a name tonight, as soon as I get to my DB)

One of the first guesses was NM_05 = Lotus Elan, but I have to repeat that it's not the correct answer.
It's indeed a Jaguar, but not an E-Type special...

Would Maserati Khamsin be too easy for #16?

One of the best puzzles I've seen for ages.  Well done.   ;D   Here's my small contribution to some answers;

NM05:  Hispano-Aleman Castilla
NM09:  Isuzu Bellel
NM16:  Lamborghini Urraco
NM19:  Toro Coupe (VW-based, made in the Philipines)

I knew you know this!  :thumbsup:
Do you know if it ever was completed? It must have been a great looking car!

The hardest one is already solved I guessed!  :-\

Yes it's from the same source I have. I couldn't figure out if this is a restauration project of a formerly completed car or if it never was finished.. ???

#9 , because I think #2 is a rebodied Simca, or something like that.

Maybe you're a little upset now, but to be honest: neither #9 nor #2 are from Spain. ;D
BTW: #2 is not a rebodied Simca or something like that..

Or is there a link between #9 and BMC ? Somehow it looks like being based on a Farina model (Oxford/cambridge)...
