Once again they don't build 'em like they used to, all curves (and petrol guzzling too!). But amazing to look at... Wonder if my Toyota Corolla will ever grace one of these shows? (well perhaps not mine...!) I love the colours they painted them too...

@Bronnie: I know nothing about this one - it was set apart from the others in the Exhibition, and the rear door was slightly ajar - possibly for ventilation. The apricot colored duco is recent, I suspect. Thanks for the interest Bron!

Rahul from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

You have fascinating collection of cars buddy :)... and you shoot them well too. The shadows, the lights and surrounding is just perfect to make it lively! ;)

@Rahul: Many thanks Rahul!

@Still: I think you meant "lady" and not "lay" - la difference traduit comme "dame" est "baisee" - merci Still pour cette plaisanterie accidentale!

Gorgeous old car! Love the color and so bright in the shade. Nice shot!

Behrooz from Tehran, Iran

No I don't like this one! :)) I still want that back-to-the-front and the $80K one.

@Behrooz: I'll lend you the Jaguar for the weekend! Thanks Behrooz! I have marked several of your pics as my favorites at VFXY.

Jerry from Tampa, United States

I'll take this one - let me know when to expect it! Super image - crystal clear - great job Sidonie!

@Jerry: The cost for shipping these old darlings around the world must be astronomical - but you can have the photo for free! Thanks for the fun, Jerry!

Henri Rabagny from Paris, France

Quand j'ai vu la vignette dans Commity j'étais sûre que c'était une de tes photos !
Où sont Lauren Bacall et Humphrey Bogart ?

@Henri Rabagny: Et Elliott Ness et les Untouchables? Merci Henri. J'attend avec impatience ton projet dans le garage des Italiens ...!

You know Sidonie, it is very hard to get a good, clear, well lit image of a car. I know. I'm married to a motor head extraodinaire... been to countless car shows. What I'm getting at is that this in one FINE shot. The angle is right. The light is great! The car has depth. Really really great shot. (sorry, I too can get a wee bit verbose)
