#7 wouldn't be a Terrapin would it?

#16 is the Serenissima F1 (Serenissima MA1F) car which never took part at any race.

#7 is not a Terrapin, but #16 is indeed a Serenissima (although rather M1AF than MAF1), but it has raced at least once in an Austrian hillclimb in 1970.

10 I think is a F3 car. JAP engine presumably. Swedish?
19 I believe a F-Vee. Dutch?

#10 - F3, motorcycle engine, but not JAP. And not Swedish.
#11 - not MZ, and not from the same country (if you meant Zambarbieri made cars).
#19 - neither Abarth nor F-Vee (and not Dutch).

Sorry  ::)

P.S. Two of these cars (##10, 11, 19) are European, one is not.

Okay faksta - that was just a hazardous guess!
Back to some serious research.........

I've seen #7 before.... the same photo, I wouldn't recognise the cars otherwise. Is it something to do with Franco Sbarro?

#10 is not from GDR, but I think you have got the idea.

#7 has nothing to do with Franco Sbarro.

Time to establish some basic facts.
#2 - French?
#7 - Eastern European?
My apologies that's two questions but I think we need to kick-start this puzzle again

That's two questions, but about different cars, so it is completely legal :)

However, I have to declare that #2 is not French (but very close!) and #7 is not Eastern European (but European it is!).

Selex ST2 it is!

Actually, with a start of a new book from als15, I expect that someone will stumble upon one more car from this puzzle somewhere in the web ;)

To further promote this puzzle, the cars #7, #10, #19 are European, #11 and #20 are not.
