SC11 is this car, which I won't identify for obvious reasons!:

MJW would know all of these  :)

I can tell you the names of the bodyshells of some, but I think you probably want more than that.  ;D

SC5 is a Buckler MkV with Rochdale body and Ford 1172 sidevalve engine, originally sold to N.I. Barrett in 1954.
Many of the others are familiar but I'd have to delve into them to actually identify them (if and when I get the time!)

SC10 is presumably a MG NE Magnette.

SC1 carries an American dealer's plate from New Hampshire. No idea what it is though.

I think since it's already a puzzle moving up through the system it should be deleted from this thread!
Hope SACO will agree.
If I'd identified it then would it compromise my own puzzle?  Can Rookies and Experts access this thread?

SC3 should be the rebodied Nota 'Arnold' (cf. https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2010-38/puzzle-16-solved!-the-very-first-nota-named-arnold/ , unfortunately missing the picture):

SC2 is the second Austin Seven-based "West Special" of L.L. West, which was campaigned by West from 1952-55. (The first "West Special" from 1951 can be found here.)

The puzzle photo was taken at the Silverstone 6 Hours on 22 August 1953. Here are additional photos showing the car at Silverstone AMOC events on 26 July 1952 (#82) and 23 July 1954 (#105), and at the Silverstone 6 Hours on 9 July 1955 (#28F):
