This awesome VW Combi 1974 was photographed for a private client in Port Adelaide, SA. All car restoration work was by Auto Transformers and as you can see from the photos these guys did a great job. I would say vehicle looks like brand new. Interior also was rebuilt completely with readiness for any camper van missions you were dreaming about. Vehicle passed all road tests and has won some trophies at local car shows. A few photos inside.

Drum Circle at Brighton Beach

Drum Circle at Brighton Beach

While walking along the Brighton Beach Esplanade with my camera and waiting for sunset I spotted a crowd of people with drums and rugs which looked a bit unusual for the beach. I snapped a few pics and continued my walk towards the Jetty until stopped by a couple of people asking if those photos are going to be uploaded anywhere. I was a bit confused and confirmed that I had some thoughts about…

This photoshoot was a client’s birthday gift for his brother who was in love with his new Mazda MX-5 GT Roadster. And for sure, it was an absolute pleasure for me to photograph this beautiful car as the colour worked so well with the location. We also were lucky with the weather and captured some good light at sunset. And yes, gift vouchers are available for all packages. Don’t know what to buy for a birthday or for any special day? Think no further as photographs will last forever and will keep good memories about your present. There are some photos below…

I really had a pleasure to photograph this immaculate condition 1939 Ford DeLuxe Ute in Port Adelaide for Just Cars magazine.  Originally the car was restored in 2009 and hit the road in 2010 and in 7 years drove less than a 1000 kms. For that period of time it also collected a few car shows trophies around the state  such as Ute Muster and Best Commercial Vehicle Restoration. Actually, the vehicle was for sale and hopefully we will see it soon on our roads and shows with the new owner. A few pics under the cut.

I was photographing this 1961 XK Falcon Deluxe Fordamatic for Just Cars magazine article dedicated to Ford closure in Australia. This was the first car I drove with a column shift automatic transmission and available only in Deluxe version of this Falcon. It was very unusual for me but I got used to it very quickly. Overall this car was well looked after and considering its age was very neat and tidy having almost all original parts. Enjoy the photos. Special thanks go to Collectable Classic Cars for the car and Barristers Block winery for their beautiful background.

This 1926 Pontiac Tourer is the oldest car I have photographed as a full set and I really enjoyed it. Ryan and Kirsty with thei little son drove to Adelaide from Mt Gambier to take part in the Bay to Birdwood rally and while they were here I had a chance to capture a few moments the day before the event. Pontiac is in immaculate condition, looks and drives like brand new. Here is a small story from Ryan about it.

I inherited our 1926 Pontiac Tourer from my dad Brad Turner in 2011. He inherited it from my great, great Uncle Bill Turner. My dad was 15 when his great Uncle Bill died, so it was more like a toy for him at the time. According to my Nana, dad used to drive his Pontiac around a paddock behind the house and charge kids from the local area for rides!

The Pontiac wasn’t exactly well looked after during this period and often sat under a tree in between use. Dad often reflected on this time and wished he’d taken more care of it as a youngster! He moved it into the back of the service station he’d bought from my grandfather in about 1970.

When my dad died in February 2011 after a couple of years of illness he still owned the service station with my mum and the car was still parked in the same place. It hadn’t moved in about 40 years. During that time he had often talked about a restoration. He was going to get it ready for my oldest sister’s wedding but that came and went along with two other weddings in my family. Dad was a mechanic but apart from getting the engine to run one time in about 1995 no restoration work was started.

I wasn’t sure what we would do with the Pontiac when mum and I started cleaning up the service station for sale in late 2011. Not having any experience with vintage cars let alone restoring them, I initially thought it was sadly too far gone. I learnt however that anything was possible given enough effort, time and money. I was excited to think we might be able to get dad’s car back on the road!

The overwhelming feelings I had when we finished the restoration were happiness and relief, mixed with the satisfaction that we were able to make this happen and save the Pontiac from being lost to scrap metal. I couldn’t have done any of this without Kirsty who was my girlfriend when this started and is now my wife. Her support was without limits and it’s wonderful to now share the Pontiac with our little boy Flynn who is two and half and loves being in it even more than we do! We continue to drive it regularly and were lucky enough to win the Concours de Elegance at the 2016 Bay to Birdwood which was a very proud occasion. My dad and great, great uncle would be pleased their car has remained in our family and will hopefully be enjoyed for many more generations to come!

Pontiac Motor Company was started by General Motors in 1926 as a companion car to Oakland.

• This car was imported to Australia as a rolling chassis from the USA and the body assembled by Holden Bodies in Woodville, Adelaide. • Approximately 1,100 Pontiac Tourers were sold in Australia in 1926 at a cost of 225 pounds each. • The engine is a 6-cylinder side valve which produces 40hp at 2400rp. Capacity is 186.5ci with 4.6:1 compression. • Top speed around 50mph but it cruises comfortably at 45mph. • Rear wheel brakes only. These are a contracting band style. • Emergency brake is a more conventional drum on the rear wheels. • When Pontiac stopped manufacturing in 2010 it was the oldest GM brand in existence that was started by GM.

Jeff Watson’s 1970 Ford Escort MK1 GT Turbo was photographed for ClassicFord UK Magazine last year and I really enjoyed to work with this car and its owner.

Another photoshoot for the regular customer. This incredible 1949 International Fuel Truck was fully restored to its original condition and was photographed by me for Perry L H & Sons Pty Ltd (also known as Perrys Fuel Distributors). This was the first truck in the company’s fleet which started to work for the family business established in Crystal Brook in 1949. Crystal Brook is a small town in the northern part of South Australia with population around 1200. At the moment company distributes fuel across the state using own fleet trucks and have a few service stations mostly concentrated in regional areas with the head office based in Crystal Brook.

Finally I finished with these photos, which were taken last year during the local photographers meet up at Port Adelaide. There were a few bikes and cars on that day. Photographers were able to choose models and cars or bikes to work with. After a quick walk around I spotted 1969 Ford Galaxie which was one of the those cars that I wanted to photograph and have in my portfolio. The owner was a great bloke and was happy to cooperate with me. Then there was a task to find a model and after a few seconds I noticed Milean, who was also happy to work with me. So we had a great time and managed to get some good snaps. Enjoy!
