Thank you!
The Citroen was lit naturally outside in the garden. The Minis and others were lit from directly above by the halogen lights in our kitchen. Using a flash will not give good results
For all shots, my camera was mounted on a tripod with remote shutter release and set to apature priority, the camera took care of the shutter speed. A small apature gave better results, more depth of field.

I'm a complete photography numpty and the pics were the results of a couple of hours of just trying different setting etc
