OK Everyone,

My dad bought an old porsche 356 speedster two weeks ago, and I want to get some good photos of it.

The big question is: Where?

I live in Reigate, Surrey (nearer the better)

I will post up piccys when it is done

Thanks alot,

GFWilliams

Just a thought...
A nice curvy car like that might look good against the straight edged angles of the buildings you find in most industrial estates. You could head down late afternoon on sunday when things are quiet if there's a little sun.

Is it a Porsche GFW or a Chesil?

first thing in the morning or when the sun is setting are the best time to shoot cars, also take along a circular polariser, just in case wink

Disused petrol station...? There are a few period pumps still dotted around the country...

Not exactly close, but reckon a few piccies at Reims would be lick

is that on the top of the hill? - I didn't realise you could drive along there

Great idea though

It's just the south of M25 J8 and A217 intersection. There's a cafe there and a great view. I believe it is looking down towards Reigate?
