That F40 is actually a Pontiac Fiero GT..
It was much talked about on Fiero.nl some yrs ago.

There is a company in Birmingham UK called FieroFactory. They build the F40 kits for the Fiero.

The TVR's look like they are sitting round the back of the old Blackpool factory.

Wonder were the Lotus Elise is, N.I. reg but does not look like N.I. in the background.

There was a 40-odd page thread on Supercarforums a while ago with piles and piles of photos like that. Unfortunately the forum is now dead. The biggest stir was caused by that Miura which has still not been rescued.

Yes, the TVR photos were from out the back of the TVR factory, and includes the "white elephant" prototype.

That DeLorean has been rescued and resurrected.
