Blimey - excellent work.
Here's what we've got so far (excluding unconfirmed guesses):

(row by row)

??, Reliant Scimitar, Gilbern
TVR (Vixen?), Lotus Europa, Alfa Montreal
Ford Zodiac, Marcos (GT?), ??
??, Ford Granda Ghia Coupe, Ford Capri (or Mustang!?)

Any more contributions?

Thinking top left is Wartburg, but not sure. Think Wartburg had a more square rear light......

The red one second from the top could be a Lancia Stratos - or even an Alfa Romeo Montreal. Wartburg came to my mind too for the one at the top left.

Well done - you're correct about top left being the reliant scimitar coupe.....

Scimitar Coupe, Scimitar SE6, Gilbern
TVR Tuscan, Ginetta G21S, (Montreal lookalike?),
Zephyr Zodiac, Marcos Mantula/GT, TVR 3000S,
Trident Clipper 5.9 V8, Granada Ghia Coupe, Capri 1600 Mk 1

The only one not really sure about is the Alfa Montreal But the window has more of a curved corner.
