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 got a list of all the models I still require photos for. If you've any press photos 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, once I've checked through my list.

Thanks in advance to anyone who may be able to offer assistance - it's much appreciated.

Oddly, I seem rather short of Vauxhall images but the Lotus Carlton was one I found relatively easily. Thanks for dropping me a line though.

What royalties should we expect for doing your work?

I think you've posted this thread in enough separate forums for at least one of them to be in the right place...

I'd expect a ticking off.

Ha ha. Believe me, this is a labour of love and I think the only people who'll actually make serious money out of it are the book retailers. Anyone who is able to supply a picture that is used will be acknowledged in the appropriate section.

Cheers
