I'm not sure that I'm really tuned in to this yet, but I'll have a first stab.

I think place #7 is Penrhyn Castle, Gwynedd, which is in Wales.

My guess is that this partners with vehicle #5 which is a Wales & Edwards electric milk float.

Apart from that I'm struggling a bit. Frustratingly, I know where place #2 is, and I have a possible car to go with it, but just haven't managed to positively identify it. So I'll leave it at that for now. :)

It was a good start, but since there hasn't been a lot progress here.
Last call before I'll leave it to the ever hungry Pro's

All correct, though I have a slightly different name for the car of the last pairing you've guessed. Maybe it's only about a wrong translation, but the point is yours

Car #14 is the 1957 Auto-Union GT Special by Schmid; I’d pair it with Place #5, U Tower, originally the building of the Union Brauerei, in Dortmund, Germany.

Car #02 is a Chenard et Walcker Aigle 8 from about 1935.

This links with location #02, the castle surrounded by vineyards, which is the Chāteau at Aigle in south-west Switzerland.

I recognised the castle right from the start (it's now a museum of winemaking) but it's taken until now to match a car with it. I was convinced that the link would be with Ghia-Aigle, and that stopped me thinking in other directions.  :-[

;D Hehe, that's what I had intended, but well done, you didn't get fooled and you've found the right car.

#11 is not a Tatra, but location #15 is guessed correctly. No points I'm afraid.   :-\

I imagine it has to do with car 9 though, as I think it is the KAN. Car 9 fits location 15.
