Some fantastic motors in there! The way they're shot against a white background reminds me of the shots in this book: Don't have my copy to hand, but some of them look awfully familiar! Top find!

That Jensen is gorgeous! What's the deal with the Anglia's grille? I always thought the chrome went right across the front.
Really nice photography. Nice website all round actually! I expected them to be based somewhere in Japan - nice to see that such a quality ecclectic collection exists in the UK.

They remind me of the photos in Car Graphic magazine from Japan.

I guess it's just me who things the photography is pretty 'average' then.
There's far too much 'light' used and most of the cars lose a lot of their depth and definition, particularly along the rear quarters.
The interior/engine bay shots are far too flat, there appears to be no depth of field at all.
My personal opinion is that there are members on here who could shoot a far better picture.

Cheer up, grumpy gus. It's a collection of interesting old cars, not the f*cking Turner Prize.

This is a pic of a Model T engine from that website. The car is circa 1910 - 1920. It made me think whether the design of spark plugs has really changed or improved much over the last century?

For those discussing the photography, can I recommend "Cars: Freedom, Style, Sex, Power, Motion, Colour, Everything" by Stephen Bayley, photography by Tif Hunter. It features cars of design importance, either innovative or distinctive as judged by Stephen Bayley, from the Model T to the 2003 BMW 5 series. Tif Hunter travelled to meet the owners and their cars, using a portable infinity screen/tent to photograph the cars in a similar way to these pictures. Beautifully done in black and white, with some lovely and almost abstract in places close-ups of detail. And because the tent was open at the front you can make out some interesting reflections of the surroundings, which adds a nice natural touch. Anyway, back to the topic in hand: wibble. I like the photgraphy, and there are some beautiful cars there. I don't really care what's going on with the V8 in the Aston Martin DBR, I just want it ;D Great find as ever Bizzle.

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary.
