This is my third group puzzle on sports racing cars.

As it may take some time to complete this one I'll award points as each car is solved.
Some are easy but others may cause some head scratching.

One point for each correct guess - it should be sufficient in most cases to name the make and model or year.

As always any additional information is welcome as many of these cars are relatively obscure.

Is #11 a 1950 Lester MG Special?

Tackitt · « **Reply #7 on:** April 24, 2011, 09:22:57 PM »

I believe #16 is the 1952 Panhard-powered Aardvark H-Modified.

Tackitt · « **Reply #8 on:** April 24, 2011, 09:32:07 PM »

I have for #5, 1951 Panhard Barquette X86

No, it's not that.
This car was re-bodied to look like a Maserati in the late 1950s

Not that.
The car is British....

Although it is Panhard X86-based, this car is not French and was raced under a different name.

Sorry Tackitt but most of these cars are quite difficult to ID as you can see.....

#24 is the Lotus Mk6 bodied by Peter Kirwan-Taylor (I think it was built by Williams and Pritchard)

#11 is the Dargue-MG

barrett · « **Reply #14 on:** April 25, 2011, 03:19:54 AM »

#02 is the Delettrez Diesel le mans car from 1950

That's correct - the car raced at Le Mans in 1949 & 1950

Okay thanks, I should have asked for the model and the engine configuration - my mistake!
Anyway, the point is yours.
It's a Serenissima 3000S V8 Competizione 1968
