Could #2 be a horribly disfigured Lola #140 or 142?

Bullzeye! But could you be more precise? I'll lock this for you until your next reply, but no longer than 2 days.

I believe this is one of the "Avallone-Chryslers" that were raced by Carlos Avallone in Brazil. Besides the makeshift bodywork on this one, he also fitted the Lola T142 with T222 bodywork and was quite successful, winning the Brazilian championship something like four times.

Everything is right, but I have a slightly different name for this car (.....-March 811, but not RAM). Do you know what it could be? Locked for you until your next reply, but no longer than 2 days.

I believe that #15 is a 1947 Urania 500cc Supercharged F2 BMW Boxer.

#19, I believe, is a 1965 Eisert-Chevy Champ car that has been converted to F-5000.

Twice yes, although I have this Urania as 1948 model. The Eisert is JE67 according to some sources.

No 11 has Austin 7 (or perhaps Dixi) wheels at the rear and possibly Austin 10 wheels at the front. If it is an Austin 7 special, I don't recognise it. The background doesn't look British so maybe the colonies somewhere.
Opinionated but sometimes wrong

I think the rear wheels may rather be Dixi ones than Austin 7, and no, the background is not British.

Mostly right. Although I know him as Neuder Mota. His nickname was 'Dezinho', and that is the name I have seen applied to his car also.

It is not Merlyn (and not British at all)

17# Appears to have a Lotus 23B body but if the car is not British then I'll hazard a guess as a 1970s Dona Special from Canada which used an Alfa Romeo engine on a Lotus base.

Sorry, but it is not Lotus body, not Canada and not 1970s.

Here is another picture of #17.
