There is one Japanese car, but not #19.

'S' stands for another country, not Sweden. Formula Vee is also one of them, but not #20.

#11 is Cross Ve indeed.

But sorry, the others are not right. 'S' is not Southern Africa, it's a European country. The Japanese car which is present here is from a racing car manufacturer known better than Bellco.

To summarize the hints: three cars left, two of them are from Europe (#7 and #19, countries starting with G and S), one from Japan, from a well known manufacturer of racing machinery.

Yes! From the people later known as Dome.

I think I even know which puzzle lead you to it :D

So, only two left, and not the most obscure among the whole bunch!

That's what I thought after a lot of deliberation.
#7 - I'm still searching for
#19 - Is it a Selex?

Not a Selex (there was one already in this set), but it ran in the same category as some Selex cars.

Apologies but I'm not very good at recognising single seaters.
There are not many Spanish manufacturers so I'll continue with Hispakart?

Why apologize? Do I look angry?  :)

It is not Hispakart, though. The name is shorter.
