Hi everyone!

I'm a photography student in London/ Surrey (Croydon) working on a project about derelict cars... I was wondering if anyone has one that they would be willing to let me photograph? or if you know of one...

Here is some stuff I have done so far:

I would really appreciate any help!!

Thank you

Rick, I know this is only a replica but I think it answers your question...

Why do people let these things rot instead of selling them to someone who has the intention to restore them? Sitting there it will only rot and in any case surely the cash in hand is better than simply the prospect of selling it one day! Twisted Evil Drives me mad...

I recognised this as an Allard straight away but what is the 4th picture in the 4th row? I suggest an early Reliant Scimitar Sabre 6. The 3rd picture in that row is, I believe, a Vanden Plas 4 litre.

I think the Reliant is an SE4 Coupe, there are one or two locally plus a dismantled at the workshop where the Dodge is

A reliant owner has written this below the photo in the comments section
"It's a Reliant Scimitar GT hibernating"

The first photo in the first row has been taken in malta and was in a local scrapyard, but I beleive is now gone!!
