The Bronze Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 A friend has asked me to try and find some cars for a small photo shoot in early December. The ad is aimed at probably a more traditional classic car owner, so possibly something british and more in the factory restored vein than anything eighties jappa or overly modified. Top of the list as the ideal is, and I quote "Austin 8, Pre 60's" - But as they're not really car peeps, and past experience tells me they're not going to know what they want until they see it. So if you've got a minter classic, probably pre-70's of the english or early australian persuasion, and you're keen, get in touch. I'll need car deets and pics to send through to them to see if it is what they're after. There is money involved that will cover costs.

HumberSS Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Hey Bronze, Ive got a 65 Super Snipe if that fits the bill? Heres the last wedding I did for a mate. The car is actually a bit rough around the edges but a spit and polish and a few distance shots you would never know.. http://markharris.co.nz/wedding-paula-jay/ Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Posted November 4, 2014 Share Posted November 4, 2014 Sounds like my car ticks some boxes there...it's a 1959 Austin A35. I should point out that it's not concourse condition, but I would say it's in pretty good shape. If it sounds like what you are after let me know Here's a couple of photos: \\ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
