I decided it was about time I got into Game of Thrones and have just finished watching every episode on Sky on demand. A few times an episode there is a short advert for Sky Atlantic, the one with the panning shot of an apartment building's windows which finishes showing the following shot of the street outside:



The car which caught my eye is the 4th one up on the right hand side. For a split second I thought it was an F1, but then rewound and realised not. However, since then it's been driving me slowly mad, and after seeing this advert near enough 100 times now, I NEED TO BLOODY KNOW!!!! biggrin

Couple more bad quality pics

Just replaced with a few found online, but that's best I can do I'm afraid!

I'll see if I can take a photo from the TV when it's playing, but unfortunately the advert is not particularly HD when watching on demand.

Yep, definitely need a better image!

Cropping in on the car in question, you're left with 30 pixels by 30 pixels...


Blowing it up doesn't help much, either.


There just isn't enough to work with.

When watching it on tv, I'm sure it has round rear lights. Bit McLaren F1 style.

It's also pretty low compared to the cars around it.

Also, rear window could be split down the centre.

I'm going to say Bristol Fighter - just because I want it to be, I suspect...

That 360 could be it. The db7 and 360 are definitely very similar to the rear window shape.

Looking at a zoomed in image, I'd say the Aston / Jaguar theories may be correct.

Cropped and sharpened image, not sure if this helps any!
