#8 is indeed an AMS according to my info, although it is featured as AMS - Simonetti 1000 Cosworth in my folder (I guess I'll need to rename it to AMS 1000 Cosworth as well). As far as I know AMS stood for Automobili Motori Simonetti.

racer05: Willment Mysteron BRM
racer08: AMS ?
racer14: Lou Molina's Monza Holden sports car

Must correct myself.
#08 is indeed an AMS racer, but saved it under "Simonetti 1000 sport prototipo" not knowing that AMS stands for "Automobili Motori Simonetti".
So, apologize Mr Jaray! $:-\$
As faksta identified this car completely it will be him who's mentioned as the solver.
Nevertheless I'll give PJ one point compensation.. (now – not at the end)

Not that!

thank you, I feel ...compensated!
(BTW: AMS should stand for "Attrezzature Meccaniche Speciali" formed by Ing. Tancredi Simonetti when he left ATS "Automobili Turismo Sport")

Thanks for correction. I took 'my' version of AMS full name from a respected place, though.

I hope it's OK that I ask several questions at once, because they are about different cars...

#3 - is it Ford powered? Judging by the cars around and my memory, which nevertheless can't remember any other moments.
#9 - French hillclimb vehicle?
#11- we have already established that it is a small displacement Japanese formula, but is it Honda engined?
#17 - in my opinion it has quite an unusual styling for an LHD car. I would expect something like this to come from South Africa od Australia. Maybe this one is Canadian?

#3 is a Merlyn F100 - Ford from either 1969 or 1970 - a car that competed in an almost forgotten Formula F100 series.

#9 It's French and raced at hillclimbs
#11 is not a Honda
#17 is from none of the countries you've mentioned

#11 - maybe a Suzuki engine then? AFAIR it was a unit from a nowadays major car maker.

It's indeed from one of the major companies, but it isn't a Suzuki.

Allemano · « **Reply #63 on:** April 12, 2010, 08:34:45 AM »

#17 from a famous racing team

#11 famous Japanese car producer – not obscure at all!

faksta · « **Reply #64 on:** April 12, 2010, 08:48:26 AM »

#11 - Daihatsu Engine?

Allemano · « **Reply #65 on:** April 12, 2010, 08:57:49 AM »

my source reports another company..

Allemano · « **Reply #66 on:** April 12, 2010, 08:59:26 AM »

#09 is a little more tricky..

Here's a picture what it looks today:

faksta · « **Reply #67 on:** April 12, 2010, 09:02:09 AM »

I couldn't find it since then

Damn, I was almost sure I have saved the picture and some info or at least a link somewhere!

Datsun/Nissan/Prince?

Allemano · « **Reply #68 on:** April 12, 2010, 09:12:18 AM »

Datsun/Nissan/Prince is correct. (there wasn't too much left

)

faksta · « **Reply #69 on:** April 12, 2010, 09:58:07 AM »

~~The tricky one (#9) is a Naja 1300?~~

Forget it! It's called Piller NSU.

I'll need to find another source then...

...or read more careful the existing one, expecially when there's a different name a couple messages further. What about BLF?

Allemano · « **Reply #72 on:** April 12, 2010, 10:13:01 AM »

Clue: it was equipped with a French powerplant.

I didn't think you would be faster. I've edited my previous post.

Stunning!
You've found it! The rest should be duck soup now.
And hurry as I have the 2nd race puzzle in the pipeline!
