Hello folks.
I am a keen photographer and have taken a particular interest in taking pictures of old, ruined, rusty cars. The type of thing that gets found in a barn, hidden by a tree, bought for restoration but never completed etc, and also the reasons to how and why they ended up there. How did someone's once pride and joy end up as an wrecked heap of metal and rubber.
I am looking to take as many pictures of these kinds of cars as possible, and am wondering if people know of any good examples I can come round and take pictures of? I am not a restorer, I am not looking for parts, I do not wish to buy and of the cars or advertise them elsewhere. I am just keen to take pictures of old wrecks and see how cars deteriorate and whats left at the end of the day.
I would ideally like some sort of permission to take pictures, unless the car is clearly abandoned, as i do not wish to annoy people by trespassing on their land in order to get a picture. I am based in the North West area, near Chester and would like to start by taking pictures in this area, so if you live in North Wales, Chester, Liverpool, Manchester etc, and think you know of a car or cars that might be of interest to me, then please let me know, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mark
PS. This is the picture that first got me interested in the subject. Taken in the Lake Distict up Old Man Coniston.

Cheers. I am really interested in taking the pictures myself though, so that I can rightly claim them to be my own work.Mark
Get in touch with Chris Benbow - he's based not too far from you and shoots a lot of this subject at night.
One of my favourite finds was this old police cruiser several years ago in Minnesota...
