Not sure if there is already a thread for this - if so perhaps someone can point me there

I have a Sales Client who runs Car Auctions and they want me to revamp their website. Does anyone know how I go about accessing car related databases e.g. Make, Models etc and also car details databases and incorporate them into the site

You'd either have to create the data yourself and store it in a database, or look for a commercial company that will sell you the data either as an XML feed or webservice. There is bound to be a company that can provide this, but I would not expect it to be cheap.

To find a data provider I would contact leading car sites and ask them where they get their data from. You could also try car insurance companies.

A lot of the readymade car auction scripts would contain data that you could use as a starting point, though you'd have to add some of the newer models ....
