Two points for each (next) identification.

Se1 - Hungarian one off (by Arunas). I don't know anything about this
Se2 - It is an electric (real) car. Probably the Ihle (Jhle) trail is good, but I don't have a name for this.
Se3 - Paul Bailey Jaguar XJS Monaco   ImpishGrin
Se4 - Not only a road-going car, also water-going...
Se5- American Coachcraft Marcotte Vision  jotage21
Se6 -  ???
Se7 -  ???
Se8- John Deere Street-Sweeper RG-T 1997   jotage21
Se9-  ???
Se10- Le Piaf Bi-mobile 1951     ftg3plus4

The car #6. I just found the bigger picture of this mystery but still not the name. The car is probably related to Porsche 928. PJ, do you have anything more? Does this car have the name?

Great picture!
I do not have any info about...I believe it's just a mock-up, but the logo looks terribly familiar and I thought somebody could be able to identify it... :-\

SE1 was shown at the 2007 Luxury Show in Budapest. I am trying to track down what it was as I wasn't there

Since you are the 2nd telling that it's a Pup I looked for some proof and it turned out that you are right, this is indeed the 1949 version of the Pup, as written in the description of it in the standard Catalog of American cars.
Tuckeroo gets the point.
About #1 I hope someon will find it!

Folks, we will have some  problems here.

No1, aka Hungarian "beauty" is a true mystery: it was shown at the 2007 Luxury Auto Show in Budapest. The organizers said that the editorial office of Auto2 magazine exhibited the car. So I asked them. The editors said no, it was not them, the car just stood there unattended so they asked the organizers, won't they mind if they push it to their stand. There was no objection, so the car ended up on the Auto2 stand. as a crowd puller, but they got no idea about its origins.
How it got to the Show? A truck came and unloaded the car, saying he's got instructions to do so. At the end of the Show he transported the car away, but no one asked him who's his client.

I asked the site owner where No4 is featued but to no avail.

Hmmm.....

#4 is homemade, but obviousely wears the name Sealander MK2 (1992)

and I guess it's the same car as shown here: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=9755.0

Made by T & M Roycroft from New Sealand. :D This prototype was built 1992 and has a 1.8 Subaru 4x4 running gear and a patented wheel fold up system.
It does normal speeds on the road and will easily do 20 knots on the water. It has a water jet.

I've suspected Otto's Maki would may have something to do with his "Grote Puzzle" as well, so I searched the possible sources. Then, it wasn't that difficult to find.

No2 reminds me of the BMW electric, which was recently solved. I have found some 1940s ads from Boulevard Machine Works for children playground equipment.

That's it!
I found out that there were 3 different models and my source about this one has got no-name but all the rest matches!
Well done...only the model name is missing now.

 ??? I had discarded this one, because you mentioned earlier that you didn't know it's name. It must be the Electricar Cutie Junior, then

You are right:
earlier I didn't know its name.
When I found the other pic of the B.M.W. I saw many details I was not able to see in my other pics of the same car.
The side, the hood, the windshield are the same and the article where I took this one reports that the whole body can lift to inspect the mechanics...another pic of the B.M.W. shows just the same: the car with the body up. The same article reports that the car can be equipped with more than 1 motor, just like the 3 B.M.W. models.
The Cutie Junior had 1 engine, this one more than 1.
Still looking for the model name.
