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 Marcos 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.

Keith

If you need photos of the cars have a look here:

I can arrange or have photos of the 1990s Marcos cars as I have worked with Jem Marsh on his latest book.

Message me for more details.

Hi, thanks for the link, lots of those look potentially excellent. I'll have more of a study of them and get back to you.

Thanks again

Most of the individual car photos I have taken are not on the flickr site.

Just let me know if you need anything.

Okay - would you be able to drop me an email with some thumbnails or actual sized photos of the models I listed in my original posting? jones59@ntlworld.com

Thanks
