Need to take a few property photos, drive looks a bit bare without a car. I'm thinking an e type jag or a chimaera?

any suggestions welcome, I'm having problems finding an e type jag for rental in the area around luton, beds.

Anyone local happen to have something appropriate for the drive for an hour or two? would be happy to pay a few quid.

Other cars that might work?

thanks

What are the photos for though? I'm not convinced a TVR in the drive would encourage me to buy/view a house.

Lower budget, a nice chrome bumper Tarten Red (or other!) colour MGB with the top down on a sunny day tends to look fairly good, at least the couple of times i've seen them outside properties

If you're paying, I'll be passing Luton tomorrow morning at about 10am in a blue Pagoda.

Photographer's booked for thu 8th, will use a cherry picker to get some cool angles.

that sl pagoda looks really appropriate for the task - I see it in your profile, don't suppose you're anywhere close on that day? £100 for an hour of your time, and maybe to move the car once or twice?

One of these would convince me I was going to be buying from the right type of person if thats the intention.

ETA: Just notice the offer of the Pagoda above, pretty much ideal.

What is the "right" sort of person to buy a house from? I would have thought "a person who owns a house that I want to buy" would pretty much cover it. Otherwise, WGAF about the vendor's taste in cars? A car can make for good set dressing for marketing purposes, but, er, that's it, surely?.

Marketing a house often has a strong "aspirational" aspect, moreso at some ends of the market

You're selling a "lifestyle", convincing the buyer that by getting the house, that they move into a different social and lifestyle sector.

Selling an image.

Do you go to an interview in a tracksuit?

I get the set dressing idea, and that's bog standard, but the notion of the "right" sort of person to buy from is laughable snobbery. Some people may be so shallow as to buy on that basis, but many of us buy on the basis of whether what we are buying is any good.

If the "wrong" sort of person turns up with the cash, do you refuse to sell?

My reply to the quote above got lost somehow.

It was:
'Didn't you make it then?'
