Tatra is correct! I have it saved as a Zenith carb, but "carb from a Tatra" is good enough here.

Was the Jikov a copy of Zenith, or no relation between both?

What the L, I say. One of the oldest, is also one of the more recently deceased.

I have it down as a '72, but that's close enough for me. Did the clue help?

N is incorrect. :scratch:

Very close to correct though - right make; wrong car...

I guess I didn't notice the clue...there's only a few cars with hood pins and scoops like that that I could think of--the '68 GT500 and W30s...  How about a clue for the "race" cars of E and F?

There probably is a race car named Viking somewhere, but not in this puzzle. Keep working that angle and you may just get it....

F is not a Saab

As this puzzle is over three years old, I've lost some detail on the remaining bits and pieces. To move this one to solved, I'll settle for general answers.

Two of the remaining vehicles are very well-know race cars, and the wheel (for those of you who didn't recognize it as such) is from a well-know but extinct manufacturer from Europe.

I'll get started by guessing the wheel is from a Delage...

Is one of the race cars a Chapparral?

I think E is the Chaparral, but I reserve my right to change it to F if I'm wrong.  ;D

It meant neither. It is a reference to a holiday song from the first half of the 20th century.

The car does have British lineage.

Not a spoiler, and not a Lotus.

If you're a fan of auto racing, you've seen this item many, many times.

Is it from an open-wheel, single seater car or a sports racer of some sort?
