Enclosed MG vehicles always look like an afterthought to designing a roadster or convertible. To me they seem ungainly and ugly compared to the sometimes beautiful lines of the open cars.

The DOF is wonderful. How did you control the distortion caused by the camera rotation?

Thanks!
It was controlled with projection settings and taking many pictures with at least 1/3rd overlap. I thought first that I need to further correct but while I used in PP lens corrections already it was easy to correct with projection settings and left it like it is, otherwise I will further correct with Photoshop. The file was projected and exported as 16bit PSD file at 300dpi.

Awesome, I feel stitches like this are another way to get into the same type of outcome as large format photography.

Yes, it is. I always liked large format photography and was looking longtime to get that feel... and thank you!

P.S. In future I will try to get perfect perspective photographs, like architecture but stitched. For this I am missing some stuff and after I get it that will be my next challenge.

What program are you stitching with? I've done some stitching with Hugin. I had some good success with it, but lately not so much, I couldn't quite tell if it was my technique or later versions of it have regressed a bit.

That photo really has a "large format" projection to it.
