Belgian Favorites

[Red Baron]

Hello,

 

I'm a belgian hobby photographer with a great passion for classic cars.

My personal car for the weekends is a Lotus Seven Replica (Dax Rush)

 

 

 

As I am a member of the belgian Lotusforum.be I get the opportunity to take photos of other mermbers most precious possession.

 

I will here share some of my favorite Lotus photos.

 

 

This photo is made inside the workshop of the Belgian Lotusdealer FKM (Frédéric Koninckx Motors) in Antwerp.

It was also used as a cover for the limited Lotusforum.be calendar.

 

 

The very last Esprit ever build !

 

VIN 10621

1964 Lotus Elan 26R during the Spa Summer Classic 2011

 

 

My all-time favorite Lotus: the splendid eleven !

This 1957 Lotus XI has a racing history in different countries in the South of Africa.

(Coventry Climax 1100cc engine)
The car belonged to George Pfaff of the 'Ecurie Rhodesia' who raced the car until the early 60's.

It's also one of 8 or 10 Elevens build with the headrest and rear bonnet in one piece.

 

 

 

I'll keep you guys updated when I have new Lotus photos.

 

More classic car photos also not Lotus related on my Flickr photopage.

@Exploded: It is an honor to be the "main photographer" of the second best Lotus event in Belgium !

After 'Lotus Summer's End' obviously...

Super refreshing to see someone who actually knows how to use a CP!

[Red Baron]

It is perhaps the difference between the continents but what do you mean with 'CP' ?

[VisualEchos]

Circular Polarizer

[Red Baron]

Ah, ok

Yes, the CP is standard equipement for an automotive photographer!

It was a pleasure to have your company during the day. I've just had the photograph above framed and it now hangs on a wall in our home.

 

Fantastic definition when you click on the image.

 

Hope you're well.

Some great photos there.

 

Hope you're well. 

[Exploded]

As always very great stuff, dude!

I wish I could make pics only half as good as you do; would already be much better! ;-)

I really like the picture of my Esprit in the train when we came back from Brands as well. In fact, I'm looking at it right now in poster format! Cheers!

[Red Baron]

Thanks Bazza 907 & Exploded !

 

Exploded, I believe you mean this photo from the great train...

 

Another big butt from some moments earlier.
