This puzzle has stalled since September and as I'm planning another Sports Racing puzzle (for newer cars) I'd like to  wrap this one up.
Therefore as an incentive I'm offering two points for each of the three remaining cars.....

Let me add a few clues to the last three cars -
I'll add more if necessary.

#09 - It has a Holden engine and an early Milano body. First 3 letters are a word associated with rowing.
#25 - The first 3 letters is the make of engine it uses and the last 3 letters are ELL.
#29 - Shares the same name as the surname of the driver of this old GP car (see below)

Yes, well done - that's the name.
The puzzle car is called Avanzo, Alfa Romeo-based and built in 1976.
Two points for you and two more cars to go......

Surely it's Coxon, but that can't be worth a point!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this puzzle.
I'm going to try a similar one but featuring newer sports racers - some easy and some difficult.
Watch this space!
