Can I stop a club using pictures of my car in their publication without my permission

Hi All
Does anyone know the legalities around using pictures of cars in magazines. Pictures of various parts of my classic car have been appearing in a club magazine without my permission or consent. I am not a member of this club but was when the pictures were taken. There is no registration plate showing but I know ifs my car that's being used.
Do I have the right legally to ask them to stop doing this. They are not crediting me or my car in any way and I don't want them using pictures of any part of my car in their magazine.
Can I do anything to stop this?
Best Regards

I believe the only way you could prevent their use would be in the photos were taken by you -i.e. you have copyright.0
-
Who took the photos and what did you agree to at the time they were taken ?0
-
Someone who writes articles for the club magazine took the pictures. I didn't know they were taken. I wasn't asked for permission if pictures could be taken or for pictures to be used in any way.0

Let!!!8217;s get to the elephant in the room, how much do you want paying?0
-
I dont want paid. I want to stop them using pictures of my car to support their articles.0
-
Have you tried asking them nicely?0

Short answer is no, you can't.
Presumably these photos were taken at some sort of event, or at least in a public place? I'm guessing the Club Ninja didn't abseil through the skylight of your garage at 3AM to take them.
As such, copyright belongs to the photographer - or anyone he's assigned the rights to - and he can do what he likes with them.0 -
I haven't asked if They will stop uaojg them. They were taken at an event. I just done understand why they can print these in a magazine and I have no say in how they are used. It's my car, all my hard work and someone else uses the pictures without my knowledge or consent. It didn't seem right.0

Why ???????0 -
It's not about the money. I'm no longer in the club and don't want them using pictures of my car.0
