Free to access automotive media
« on: March 31, 2015, 10:59:33 AM »
In the spirit of the online archive thread I though I'd put together a  list of websites that provide media content without a registration process so that anyone interested can access it.

Some of these can be considered archival, but most focus on current and recent models thus I feel they deserve a separate thread.

This list is by no means exhaustive, and I very much welcome any further additions that people may have to add to this list.

I have purposefully left websites that require registration off this as they often require a confirmation process involving media credentials so wouldn't be applicable to everyone.

Without further ado:

I've added Mopar under automotive, and also a motorcycle section with a further 7 links.

Again, if anyone knows of further manufacturers that have free-to-access media website please add them here so we can compile as complete a list as possible.

The URL for Jaguar Land Rover has changed to https://media.jaguarlandrover.com/
And there are also separate urls for each marque:
Jaguar: https://media.jaguar.com/
Land Rover: https://media.landrover.com/

and of course, we also have:
Tata Motors: https://www.tatamotors.com/media/ (but it's not a very good site)
