Fairly nice compositions for your first time. Good work.

Make sure you close the windows and get the driver out of the car. If you intend on doing more Automotive shots then I'd suggest getting a circular polariser.

oh and one last thing, isn't it a mk1 escort?
 
Welcome to the forum Jay, 1 and 3 are my faves. Not seen one of those estates for years and in hearing aid beige too :LOL:

Ford Sierra Beige to precise, well it may be Sahara beige but they where very similar.

I used to run a Mk2 2 door with a fully rally prepped 1300cc engine, and full rally suspension yup they did that in the old days when I was 18 and my car was new.

AVR328T manufactured in 1977 in the same colour, according to the DVLA was on a SORN a year ago and had been redone in black. Not sure which bits of rust where black but the car was shot when I sold it about 20 years ago.

Great reminder of days when cars had character ( Not ) but rear wheel drive was far more fun on snow and ice.

Nice series, but tell him it need origional Rostyles not those alloys :D

Cordoba Beige was produced in 1979 and as this car was produced and registered in 81/82 I would probably say it is Cordoba. The same colour as my 1600 sport.

Or to be more precise Paint Colour Code= XSC1390 ;)

Sahara beige was a much more yellow colour afaik, don't remember Sierra beige though. Technically Rostyles would be a bit "old" for that car, wouldn't they? Don't think they came on the MKII, a set of RS alloys would be (y) though :D
 
Now you've all got me wanting to dig out my old slides and wade through to see if I can find one of the old Girl :D

Gonna shut up now becasause your all ganging up on me :D

Would have been steels at that age similar to the Ghia steels without the black painted centre sections.

Sahara Beige was pre '79 same as this Cortina on ebay.
