I quite like the photos - they look like 'real' camera effects rather than Photoshop. The headline picture is a long exposure roadside shot - but how was the car lit?
I'm willing to bet that those pics have somewhat, been fiddled with.
Hello Mark - sorry for not getting back to you and yes it's fine to use the pics for this 
To those asking I shot the photos one cold night back in December using long exposures and light painting, so a constant light that's moved around the car. Very little photoshop, occasional layers that's about it. More light painted cars here if you're interested.
For the smoke pic, being so cold at one point we needed to leave the car running to demist it (as visible from the headlights) and lit the vapour from behind whilst waiting.
Must say in the, er, metal the car looks striking for all the right reasons.

At the beginning the car was offered as GTD (GT Development) R-42
based on longer GT40 Frame.
GTD is /was known for Cobra and GT40 MKI kits.
Later was the Car known as Spectre.
In Germany was the Price for the car with 320 HP 165000 Deutsch Mark
@ Britcar Importer Lutz Leberfinger.(A New Esprit V8 was 200000 DM Cheaper)
I have seen few years ago the yellow Car here as Pistonheads advert.
i think for 50-60 thousand BP.
And three R42 in green and silver as package for the same price.
And yes,the car was a moviestar in the Bad Action Movie "RPM" with David Arquette about a bad constructed sportscar
with a new enginetechnology.

11/10 to the owner but I suppose I am biased.

Perhaps your car will have a direct genetic link to the reborn Pantera, you may just be sitting on an even more interesting piece of history it would seem?
This type of thing often gets lost on people “looks like a kit car” “should have bought a Porsche” “don’t like the look of it” but then it’s nothing to do with anything like that, this type of project is purely and simply because you can and that somebody needs to go out on a limb to keep something like this alive
Would love to see this car in the flesh and even more so actually have a drive, if the owner fancies a whizz in another hybrid feel free to drop me an email
Excellent work, truly excellent
