A bit of unusual car for me - a proper British classic.
Full story of this awesome car here:

Thanks for looking,

Awesome set overall. The only thing that bothers me are the motion shots only being partially in focus. Your detail shots are bang on. I'm loving the use of shallow DOF for a classic vehicle shoot. Great choice and it really accentuates the overall mood of the shoot.

Wonderful photos. Felt I was looking at an MGB brochure from way back. Your action shots give impression of speed and the photos of the components are quite good.

Excellent lighting and backgrounds.

This brings back nightmares of my years as a mechanic in the 70's working on these things, and trying to fit my 6'4" frame into them to test drive after repairs!

In contrast to the first commenter I quite like the motion shot only partially in focus, it's not something I see everyday and works quite well with this nostalgic ride.

Thanks all again!
Lol S_Egbert I am 6'1" and I was ok, but then again I would love even a Vauxhall VX220 as a daily and wouldn't mind getting in and out of those things.
Regarding focus on rolling shots - I have shots with the whole car being in focus, but the shutter of 1/200 and F9 etc wasn't what I was after, it just looked liked a normal rolling/panning shot. I rather went for low shutter, I think 1/30th or 1/60th here with F2.8 to give more speed sension and DOF, so the law of physics kicked in at that shutter speed and angle, I know it won't be to everybodys taste!

The colors in these work well with the B.

I like it, but would have tried to get the front blurred with the back sharp. Usually you can get that if you keep a focus point on the part that you want sharp while you pan.
