Okay, you probably have it as 'Minsk'. I wonder if this is a mistake, or a translation error? All other mentions (on the internet, at least) ascribe it to Meha.

Minsk is what it says in Russian, apparently.

The other one is right too!

#19 - Ford by Yat-Ming. I think it's supposed to be a Mondeo, but I don't think it's specified. I've seen it as a 'European Ford'

#10 - I'm struggling with this one, i've found the model, obviously a Range-Rover, but I can't find any reference to a manufacturer, only that it's made in China  >:( infuriating!

is #6 by Polistil?

Dont worry, fellow puzzlers, i'm running on empty here... I don't think i'll be able to get many more!

There is/was no number, but fortunately, I think I know which one you mean. It's no Ford, according to my source.

#16 is an Abarth 3000 in 1:43th scale made by Politoys.
#13 maybe a Rover 3500 by Corgi Toys.
#3 maybe a Renault by Safir.
#7 Seat Ibiza by Guisval.

I answered that one before you edited it. Not a Ford, therefore not a Mondeo.

#6 is not Polistil. Not related to it either.

But you know that that doesn't give you any points. I think the front looks more Civic-like then Mondeo-like, though

In my opinion - I am a collector - there is no Penny Politoys. Having said that, you kinda arrived. Your answer needs a small tweak.

Maybe you're looking for 'Abarth 2000GT Racer'?
It's 1/66 scale and I thought they were referred to officially as Penny Polistil?
Below is an extract from a website:


QUOTE
So where does the 'Penny' name come in? Like many 1:43 scale producers, Politsil observed the success of Matchbox sized cars in the 1960's. While 1:43 scale was the collector's scale, 1:64 scale diecast seemed to be the money-making scale. Mercury offered the 'Speedy' line, Dinky offfered 'Mini Dinky' models and Politoys introduced the 'Penny' line. As shown on the rare boxed Iso Rivolta and Motor-Boat above, the Penny name included a penny-like logo
