I also might have something for this

EDIT: Are we counting the Fords we get over here as British cars, like the Mk1 Escort etc? Or American?

More crazy stuff from me this week. It's hard competing with the epicness that you guys put out - so my theroy is if you can't beat them, try something else and see if it sticks . TVR&F_F - awesome shot 👍.

I think that since it was exclusive to Europe, then it should count. So Escort Mk.1, I say yes. But this is...tricky. It would have to done on a car by car basis.

Good plan. ^^ It reminds me of a shot taken in GT4 and then edited. I don't think it is a GT1 Elise. It's something else, though I'm not sure what.

Edit - After a brief look, I believe it is an Exige GT3.

I don't wanna kill your buzz but that's not a Sprite! This is. No idea what the car you've posted is, though it could still be an Austin Healey.

Well honestly, I had no idea what it was, that was my closest guess I was hoping someone would tell me

Edit - It looks to be a Triumph TR3

 

[homeforsummer]

Yep, I think it's a TR3 now that you mention it 👍

Thanks for the heads up. 👍

The original I was going to submit was much more white - but I thought it'd be too white for the comp - so I toned it down a tad. With that, I still wanted the Exige to almost blend in with surroundings which sort of worked.

Edit:

Maybe I should read the directions in full before posting...

 

[NISM0_SKYLINE]

Um, I think BMW is German. Sorry I had to say that. But this week is British cars, good picture though but wrong car.

Lovely as always, Syntax.

Thanks dude, love the artistic angle of your shot. Nice to see some thinking outside the square. 👍
