Some of those will have long gone by now, look at the age of the pictures themselves ....
The SM was interesting, but looking at the tin worm, would make it a rather big gamble

A lot of them are just cars, rather than supercars, worth **** all in decent nick & definitely not worth the cost of restoring, sadly
As for the more exotic stuff, they were probably abandoned at a time when they were just last years thing. At one point in time Ferrari couldn't give 250GTOs away, let alone sell them
The TVR pictures look like they were taken in the TVR factory yard, and are probably ex test prototypes. Except the purple one, which looks to me to be the last resting place of the awesome Speed 12
It's a Superbird, as noted by Jaybird, which is deep down essentially a Dodge Daytona with a Plymouth badge on it
The Daytona in turn was a Dodge Charger R/T with some aero plastics and an even hotter motor
So in essence the answer to your question is, Yes Indeedy

The first fully functioning Speed 12 wasn't based on the Cerbera at all, it was a completely separate model and was painted White. It did go racing in the Le Mans series but regulation changes halfway through the season meant it was no longer eligible to race.
The second generation Speed 12 had some styling copied from the last gen Cerbera but only one was ever made, it was Red, for the TVR MD and has since been passed on into a private ownership.
Check out the 10th picture it has a tree growing through engine bay

Wow, i cannot believe a Superbird would be allowed to decay into that condition.
One thing's for sure, it isn't there now. I bet it's been restored to original glory, like the fabulous yellow example in the following picture. All American hemi muscle cars of the late 60s i worship at their altar
