This is my 1969 Austin 1100...
one of the better shots!

I like the composition of the image.
although now looking I could have moved to the right a little more!

what is your veiw?

It's an ol' classic.
Given the unkept nature of the car, a more run-down environment would have suited, but what can you do?
The perspective doesn't do much for me, but hey it's OK.
Thanks for sharing.

I learnt to drive in one of those. My instructor said he liked them because there was such pronounced bonnet lift when the clutch bit, thus making clutch control easier.

Thanks Brit!

But this is an automatic!

Its sat outside my dads workshop ready to go in and be gutted repainted and rebuilt!
I cant wait to get behind the wheel!

Then Im planning a tour across the UK!

The shot is ok but I think it could use a little more contrast. The view inside of the garage is also distracting.

thanks sharko,

thats what i thought after reviewing it,hence maybe better if i stepped to the right a little or cropped to the tree maybe?

more like this

can see the weeds growing up the side of it she has been there so long!

I like this shot. I'd crop a little from the left, but I'd leave the open garage door - I think it gives context to the image.

Reminds me of the Morris Minor convertable I learned to drive in - 36 HP and a 4-spd tranny with no syncro in low; a good driving teacher.
