That's correct.
I'm happy to award you your 333rd. point (just a little late to coincide with your 3,333rd. post!)  ;D

#27 - Ban Sing Special?
#30 - Byfield MG?
#27 - Ban Sing Special II of 1962
One point for you
#30 - Byfield is correct but not the MG version. This one dates from 1959.
I'll lock it for you until your next reply.

Repco Holden Sports by Cliff Byfield! I remember it with a different body, but found a picture of this look as well...

#22 - MG TC of Thomas Hoan? Don't know whether that was a special or a production TC.

(The fact that it is one of the three cars of that make makes my guess quite impossible though)

Not that.
Let me give you a clue - this car (the 2nd. special built) was based on a popular British car of the day (not an MG) and raced in Western Canada.

Similar in appearance but not that one.
Don't forget that the puzzle car comes from New Zealand in the 1970s.

Still seven to solve and therefore 7 points up for grabs.

I'm amending/adding more clues (see Reply 3) shortly.....

#7 - that's the car - later the Denmark Special.
#20 - Manta is correct. Based on a Jaguar base and built in 1959. That's all I know about this car.
Well done Wendax, two points for you.

#22 - Kiki? Say, Mk1? Doesn't sound too Asian, though.
