Time for the answers!

1) Bentley – and yes, that one is among the little jobs ;)
2) Jaguar – a MKII for those interested in that sort of thing
3) It was a red Ferrari (308 GTS) - and yes it wasn't his, but belonged to the guy he worked for
4) DeLorean (DMC-12)
5) VW Beetle (an L87 pearl white 1963 Model 117 Volkswagen Type 1 Deluxe Sunroof)
6) Mini Cooper (Minis in the old version, MINIs in the remake)
7) Aston Martin (DB5 in the film, DB Mark III in the book) was the one I was looking for, been a while since I've seen this one so could well be there's a Porsche at the end as well :)
8) Mercedes Benz
9) Pink Cadillac
10) Yes, girls' names indeed and Eleanor being the one we were looking for – and yep, it was a Shelby Mustang GT 500 (however, in the 1974 version Eleanor was a 1973 Ford Mustang Mach 1)
11) Porsche 550 Spyder
Bonus: Little Bastard

Thought everyone did very well despite claiming cars weren't their thing ;)
Winners are Breitkat and Squirrel - congrats!! :)
