Flickr is a hosting site, so Flickr doesn't own the copyright to any of the photos published on there. Individual users who post the photos dictate their own terms, which then appear under License in the bottom right of the main screen for each photo. Of course just because someone claims to own the copyright to an image they post on Flickr, it doesn't mean that they are actually the genuine copyright holder or that by making the claim on Flickr it somehow supercedes or invalidates the original copyright. You'll find thousands of photos on there posted as "all rights reserved" which you can be 99% certain don't belong to the person who's claiming that right. As Alan said, it's still up to the original copyright holder to take action on infringements if they think its worth it.

I assume that Stan owns the copyrights as he is the nearest thing to Bond Cars these days. Sadly it does not work that way. 'Ratty', Dave Ratner owns some Berkeley related material, as does Stephen Boyd Scootacar. It maybe Stan has a few as well.

worth a sideways scroll through.

i have heard all the usual tales of records etc. being rescued from skips in 1970ish when Reliants closed Bond down and moved Bond Bug production to Tamworth . so on those surely no-one bothered with the copyright. but which ones are they . can anyone later establish a copyright i suppose not .
