We don't necessarily know what each one is. I look for styling clues then research it from there, I do recognise a fair few straight off. I also find that I know a lot from searching for others, I see so many new cars that way. Join in and have a punt.

Here's one to get you started.

Nice: LMX sirex :)
wiki:
(also sold as Sirex LMS) was a 2-door, 2-seater sports car of Italian origin. The car was the only model produced by LMX Automobile S.R.L. (Linea Moderna Executive), a company founded by Michel Liprandi and Giovanni Mandelli.[1] The body of the LMX Sirex was designed by Franco Scaglione. The LMX Sirex was introduced during the 1968 Turin Auto Show. However, as Liprandi and Mandelli could not afford an official stand, the car was shown outside the exhibition hall.[2]
The car used a 2.3 L V6 Ford Taunus engine, although customers could also choose a different engine if they wished. Convertible and coupé bodywork were available, and the car was built on a central backbone chassis. LMX produced just fifty cars between 1968 and 1973, and another company, SAMAS, built a further twenty after LMX ceased production.[2]

:D my thoughts exactly.
I wanted to have a go with the Tatra MTX, but I searched the board and that firm has a lot of fans here...
I got the Vespa 400 on page 15 though  :)
I'll think of something...

Must be rear-engined, 'cuz I don't see any radiator grille or air intake ducts on the front. Is it? ::)

"It is based on a Fiat 1500 and I believe inspired on the Czech T77 & T87 Tatras & the Porsche 356. The streamlined bodywork was hand made of aluminum by the talented Mr. R. ******* in Pordenone (Northern Italy) in 1949, who was a craftsman, not a professional coach builder. His sons have been known to report that the car was built from 1947 to 1949. The heart of the vehicle is a four-cylinder overhead valve engine with a capacity of 1089 cc. which develops 50 hp at 5400 rev./Min. It is able to propel the car to 143 km/h. It has a small cabin with enough room for the driver and passenger."

Ledwinka designs... Every day is a schoolday  :)

I don't think there are connections. Can't find much about this car. The information I found is not even sure it's based on a fiat 1500 or 1100...

The car was displayed at the Techno classica in Essen a few years ago...
