I'll give a point to each of you for your cooperation, as it is indeed a Sagoo MkII from Kenya.

P.S. Pal, sorry, I have forgotten that the points are still waiting for the last car to be uncovered, so I have scored you one and then subtracted it back :P

No worries. As for the last one, I am on the case, but can't tell you more at the moment. If someone else finds it before me, then be it :)

What a nickname! Thanks for the help! Please award D-type the point and not to me.  Anyhow, fw5 is "Kugi Sagoo at the start grid in his Sagoo Mark ll at the Nakuru Racing track in 1967"
The driver's given name was Gurbux Singh Sagoo and "Kugi" was the nickname .  No point please!  I don't deserve it as I should have recognised the car earlier

I actually was almost sure the point for Sagoo will be yours  :)
I have already promised you a point, so no way back.

#18 - British make and run by a Swiss probably in the 1980s
 - it would of course help to identify the series.
I presume this is Sports 2000?

If anyone would like to try their luck: I managed to read the name of the sponsor on the front of the car. We called them in Switzerland, but our German and their German is a tad different :)  If anyone else would like to try it, I can PM the phone number.
I am sure this car raced in the early 1990s.

#18 is British and run by a Swiss guy, that's right. It is indeed from the eighties (let's say, from the edge of eighties-nineties).
As for a category, I'm 99,9% sure it is Sports 2000 car, but still not 100%... As I said the make is among the better known ones in this category.

Tiga SC89
I think this car was mainly used for hill climbs in the late 1980s/early 1990s.
Owner/driver was Gerhard Kessler of Autohaus Kessler, Schubelbach, Switzerland
