What Car Magazine


From the archive – For What Car magazine, 1986. We borrowed the ‘new’ Renault Savanna from the Paris Motor Show as it closed on the first day and did night shots around the city with two other cars.

From the archive – 1958 Ford Thunderbird


Probably from around 1986 or 1987 for Classic and Sportscar Magazine, a 1958 Ford Thunderbird, sponsored by Schlitz Beer. The boat image was from the roof of a boathouse along Putney Embankment.

In the background there is the original Butler’s Wharf building. The camera position is where the newer Butler’s Wharf apartments now stand.
