Congradulations! I'm glad to hear that it really works!
I have a request from a local writer. He's working on a book of
British cars and would like pictures of the less common models.
In his own words, "I'm now compiling a collector's guide to cover
all models of British cars significantly imported into the USA and
Canada since WWII; with hundreds of photographs to be included for
model identification purposes.
"...I would like to include photos of restored cars that are their
owner's pride and joy (including my own). I also would like to include
the owner's name and location with the photo, if desired.
"Prints only, 3x5 to 8x10, either color or black and white, but
only one car per photo with a background non-conflicting or
out of focus. An adult seated at the wheel or standing nearby might
be useful for size comparison. A few race or rallye scenes are desired.
All photos will be returned to owners; with a release form for those
considered for publication. No compensation will be offered or
required, nor will advertising considered. This is strictly a
personal effort for fellow enthusiasts and potentially non-profit.
"Please send photos to Charlie Oden d'Hall, PO Box 272, Tyrone NM 88065.
Any assistance will be appreciated.
"PS: Especially seeking A.C., Hillman, Humber, Nash-Healy, Singer,
Standard, Sunbeam-Talbot, Vauxhall, and Wolsely car owner's photos."
I'm sending pictures of my Imp, but it's not a good one (the picture,
not the car). A few pictures of your collection would surely be
appreciated.
