I read the whole topic again and to my big surprise I noticed that Hondast already corrected his first guess regarding #8 and I agreed with his second try!  (replies #31 & #32)
I think I need a break!

That's what I thought!

But I was still racking my brains to try and work out what else it might've been...!

I would agree with SACO on #4.
Below is a photo of the Simca Tempestade for comparison.
Different windscreen, front wing line and air outlets, etc.

(to be honest: today I detected a little typo. I forgot to write the unimportant word "not" in reply #64.  :D
Just now I corrected my mistake and would like to give grobmotorix the chance to make another statement on this, at least for 24h. Sorry Wendax, but after that you can step in.)

#9 is a so-called Dalnik, a bodied motorcycle. It was built by Karosa, some sources state a Sodomka involvement. It was a one-off with a 250 cc Jawa engine. The construction of this Dalnik took place from 1957 to 1960.

All finished. I'm temporarily a little busy. Will update the score list and award the points later.

#4 - Bugatti Type 57 #57418
So after all it was our Paul Jaray who get the point for his very first guess on this puzzle. Sorry Saco, as you cleverly pointed out that I was wrong.

And...bad luck Otto!  ;)

Thank YOU! I enjoy these NM puzzles a great deal, in fact I'm collecting images to do one of my own (if it's okay with you!)

Those points have pushed me rather too close to the pros for comfort  :o

You're welcome!

Thanks Allemano.

Thank you, I'm glad when it's entertaining.

I'm currently working on a new Geo puzzle and a new type of group puzzle.
The next Near Mint edition has to wait I'm afraid.
