Default Pretender

M8, CV 28 Ultron

Pretender-M8-(1-of-1).jpg

This car belongs to an acquaintance of mine - it's a replica SS100 Jaguar built from a kit using 1960s (or '70s) Jaguar mechanicals.

Image developed in Lightroom.

John -

Based on what you've captured, this may be a very good "replicar". Very nice framing and detail;s.

Yes, it is. The photo below is the same car a year ago - taken with my R8+DMR and 28-70 Vario-Elmar-R.

The registration number is, I believe, from the 'donor' car, and dates from the early 1970s.

John,
Looks like a very good copy, some of them are exact replicas, on the outside. Some car-folks get a bit sniffy about this sort of thing, but as long as it's done well and not passed off as the real deal, then why not?

Nice pair of clear, well-framed shots.
