I am going to be in Cape Town 21st-26th March and would like to do a number of photo shoots with modern and classic Ferraris whilst there. I own a small publishing company and they will be used for a forthcoming project.

If you live there and can help please email at sales @ oliver-cameron.com for more details.

Hope it is ok to post this request!

Thanks

David

There's also a Ferrari/Maserati dealership in the Garden Bowl Area, and an exotics/Aston Martin dealer at the V&A Waterfront (check out their Pagani Zonda!). Might well be worth contaxcting them, because you see their cars being driven around Cape Town, Clifton and Camps Bay on a regular basis (with Dealer show plates on). Pretty much being driven around just to be seen, which is why I mention them, as they may well be interested in doing a photo shoot with you. There are films and photo shoots all over the place, every single day in and around Cape Town- never seen so many camera crews!

Just got back from CPT on sunday. It's pretty hot there right now, but has been bl00dy windy too....

That's great guys. Thank you.

I am really lucky that I used to do the photography for a super car club that had a Zonda Roadster. I never drove it but must have done 600 miles or so as a passenger. Truly an incredible car!

Can't wait to get to CT and hopefully do a shoot. I need about 12 cars so if I don't get that many and any of you guys are up for one.....

David.

As a long time visitor to Cape Town, I never cease to be amazed by the quantity and selection of amazing Ferraris on the roads, both modern and vintage (mind, it is God's Own country in terms of superb drivers roads etc).... best place to start - I'd suggest - is Viglietti (official main dealer for the western cape, down on Roeland Street, central C.T. They always appear to have a good selection of stock, and importantly, have access to the local owners clubs etc.. I seem to recall that one of the ferrari owners club hold meets at the nearby Killarney race track...

We have great roads and plenty of nice exotics here in Cape Town! Viglietti is definitely worth a visit, there's lots of tasty stock on their floor at the moment. The FMM is also a must see, it holds one of the top collections in the world I'd say.

I'm quite partial to a few about town that have the roof section in black and the rest of the body in red...

Brilliant stuff - thank you very much. I have emailed the Museum to see if I can do a shoot with them. That would be pretty good!

Looking forward to seeing the exotica on the street of Cape Town smile
