About #12:
Your right answer is maybe Vokaro.
In fact it is still an unkwown swedish kitcar, built in 1967.
The seller said that he would call it a Vokaro when he did not succeed to find the name of the real builder because he needed a name to get german papers and licenseplates for the car...


Is it related to this car at all?:

11- CLUES: Panhard rebodied around 1960 by the uncle of a Bernard...who was the builder ?

The car was built by Monsieur Mathevet, the village is Ecrosnes and the base car was a 1950 Panhard X. Monsieur Mathevet was artist and teacher at the École des beaux-arts in Paris.

I've got a feeling that (7) is a Barry Stimson creation (possibly on Honda Acty)
My source reports that is an Honda modified by a British Design consultant...and I think I can read the name, now!
Is this the Honda Open 4, then?

Yes, I strongly suspect this is the Open 4 as mentioned on Stimson's website
I have seen other photos but they were back in the early 1980s...

Ok, I'll unlock it and see if there will be some more info, otherwise it's your point.

#8 - Pak-Age-Kar?
#9 - Morrison Electricar?
#8 is correct (thank you Wendax!)

Still unsolved and locked.

Thank you Quiller, I was going to post it later.

#4 is the Wesnigk Muster D Motordreirad. It was built by engineer Erwin Wesnigk from Berlin from 1922 to 1926. Seven cars were built. The body panels were attached to a tubular aluminum frame. The engine was a single-cylinder 6 hp BMW engine, later ones had a single-cylinder 10 hp Kühne engine. The car weighed 195 kg and reached 70 km/h. I couldn't find the "Hexe" (witch) name right now. I know it is mentioned in other books. I will have a look next week-end.
It's not an Hexe, then? Same source?

Forget the Hexe right now. The Wesnigk data come from the Metternich book as well. If I find a further name, I'll tell you. For the moment I think that my memory played a trick on me with "Hexe".

Hexe was definitely wrong, but the Wesnigk had a (nick)name. It was called Maikäfer (cockchafer).

I'm afraid it's not enough...
@Wendax, the Mercedes Benz by Erdman and Rossi should be from 1933, because my pic cames from a magazine of that year.

Not really sure, but it just looks like "SPECIAL" to me.

After a few tries in Photoshop I'm proud to say that there is definetly "SPECIAL" written.  >:(

At least I have a year: 1967. And that it is VW Type 1 based... What I have found so far suggests that it is German not Swedish.

The yellow rear side reflectors say "Jäg ar inte tysk!" (Swedish for "I'm not German"). And the car was photographed in Northern Germany, not a long way for an import.

Here's another picture with what looks to be #5 in it, but there's very little information.

The caption reads "Big car racing King Ralph DePalma poses behind the wheel of a miniature Packard Twin Six racer. This is in the Los Angeles area in 1924."

I don't know what the car actually is, but the badge on the radiator, visible in the puzzle picture, does indeed say "Twin Six". The bonnet is painted with "Warner Bros Special", again as in the puzzle pic. The car is obviously registered for road use, but that's all the information there is.

Bad news regarding #12: the current owner himself is still looking for a correct identification in order to get some German licence plates. Some more pictures:
