A Marque of Distinction

The Rolls Royce Silver Spirit

Spending the next couple of days doing some promo shots involving vintage Rolls Royce and Bentleys. Looking at these fine cars I couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia for a time when the closest I could get to these cars was a photo in the Observer book of cars. As a child in the seventies these cars were the stuff of legend, my brother and I would collect cards to fill in the gaps of our super car books, did my Corniche Convertible beat his Detamaso Panterra or his Ferrari Daytona beat my Lamborghini Espada?

I shall return to this particular post theme after the shoot is completed, a combination of poor parking and bad light set matters back somewhat this evening but I couldn’t resist a snap shot of one of the great car badges.

    I’ll look forward to seeing some more pictures - it certainly does take you back to the days when we could actually build things in England

    We need Volkswagen to build Bentleys now :(
