I have NO idea re the others...

One of them may not be a number... (that's kind of a clue, ok so it's a bit cryptic - Iron Maiden wrote not one, but two songs about the place this car turned up)

I just couldn't resist the TB one, though

lol... Yep, I tried to get pics of the plates but the web wasn't forthcoming.
I'll be impressed if you know the make and model too!

Silly question, I'm afraid  - I wanted to make a Westfield replica a few years ago (i.e. before children), but when I had the space and time, I didn't have the money; and once I had the money, I didn't have the space :-(

I've also been trying to talk the MD into getting a Caterham, as he's getting bored with Porsches (???)

Added some more plates.
Added pictures (for most) and car type for a clue.

Seeing as you've added some more... I'll fill in number one - it's the Lotus Seven from The Prisoner

...though all but one of the rest seem pretty familiar (my children were watching one of them on Saturday)

'fraid I don't know the make - it was a racing car which crashed and burned, spent a few years in a junkyard before being resurrected by a mad inventor (Caractacus Potts, IIRC) who also managed to get it to behave like a hovercraft and even fly...

...though it did have a tendency to backfire

Fraid not - I can find pictures of the flag on the roof, pix of the big 01 on the welded-shut doors but all the pictures of this car flying through the air seem to be sans license plate...

I'll guess that #3 is the car used in Route 66.
Another guess is that #8 is the car driven by Kowalski in the movie "The Vanishing Point".

'Fraid not Indy.
#3 is British (Driven by a Scotsman)
#8 is not vanishing point, although that's a great movie. (Kowalski drives a 1970 Dodge Challenger R/T).
This movie also features a big truck.

If you are referring to Steven Spielberg's 1971 movie, Dennis Weaver (TV's McCloud) was the star, not Dennis Hopper.
