Default To all Carrier Owners

As you know the last in my series of books on the carrier family is due out later this year all going well. I intend having a section relating to as many carriers as they are today, fully functioning restored, in any stage of restoring, or simply as found. This hopefully would and could form a fairly up to date Register. This is where I need your help please. What I would like is 1 or 2 good quality photographs of your vehicle without any modern backgrounds, items etc., if possible. Sent to me (PM for email) as tiff files scanned at minimum 300psi. Photo size to be maximum 15cm wide. Also if you could supply a wee write up about its history, actual vehicle data and restoration history and finally some details of yourself (that can be printed!).
My plan is, depending on the response, to allocate half a page per vehicle. I'd prefer not to have all sunny pictures! except desert ones!!

Its a real chance to find out what is out there and have it recorded so I am hoping we all can help, some of you have already. And yes I'll look into discount for those submitting once I get my costs organised, which is the next thing!

Any questions just PM me.
Thanks
Nigel

When would you need these pictures by?

My carrier is somewhat torn apart right now for winter maintenance.
