Manufacturer Press Photos from the 1990s
Discussion
Hi all
Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong place, or deemed an inappropriate posting. I am in the middle of researching and writing a book with the working title of A-Z of Cars of the 1990s. It is essentially a survey of every make and model sold in the UK during that decade, including major techinical/ specification details, a summary of each model's history and photos of every body style of each model sold in the 1990s. It'll be on sale in 2011.
Now, here's where I become a bit unstuck in that whilst I own and have online access to several thousand manufacturer press/ official pictures I am still a significant number short. Below I have listed the models I still require photos of, in 1990s spec, although I would happily accept pictures showing cars on 'F' and 'W' plates if they're visually identical.
I've listed the models from TVR I require below. If you have any of them and would be willing/ able to scan them (at 300dpi) to be emailed over then drop me a message and I'll get back to you. By the way, I still require odd photos from most makes, so if you happen to own any other press/ official pictures for 1990s models, let me know what you have. Alternatively, if you have a UK-regsitered, standard/ unmodified version of one of the cars listed and are happy to take a picture of it to email over, that would be great too.
Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to offer assistance - it's much appreciated.

Fantastic looking car, thank you for sharing. I don't suppose you've got any from a front three quarter angle do you? If so, could you email me it to jones59@ntlworld.com?Have some high res 'raw' shots if your interested.

That sounds like a great offer, thank you. Sorry, I'm a newbie on the whole PistonHeads scene this evening, so without trying to sound overly stupid (it comes naturally), is Hiltonig a member on here or something else? A Speed Twelve image would be helpful - I have an image from the rear and would ideally like a front one.
Thanks

Hi - I have a Spirit of Driving brochure which covers the Chimaera, V8S and AJP Griffith (Performance to be announced 
) Also has a price list dated January 1993. This the sort of thing you're after? Also have a 1986 brochure and price list with lots of colour pictures of wedges and quite a few b&w photos of the same if these are of any interest?
