Not a car you see everyday, the Moss Monaco, manufactured as a kit from the early 80's to, I believe, the mid 90's, and based on a Triumph Herald or Vitesse chassis, with one piece bolt on body.
My kind of car.

This camera really does deserve better film than the expired old Soviet stuff I subject it to.

The magnificent Paris bike scheme, squeeze cyclists into a small gap at the edge of the road on one way streets, always riding against the flow of traffic, so you can see what is going to kill you, whilst allowing pedestrians to step in front of use as they always look the opposite way for oncoming traffic.

Early experiment in selective DOF using a rangefinder.
And hopefully a sign of things to come as Tamara just walked, in wearing the Contax and very little else, requesting I shoot her.
A rare event these days.

As I have had this account a long time, I believe this was my second after deleting my original in a BiPolar rage sometime ago, it would be sad to let it die.
I think I will reserve it for just the Contax G1, posting will be sporadic, but I will post.

To kick things off, an older shot from last year
I'm pretty sure this was just a kit copy of the Bugatti Tipo 35, but am happy to be proved wrong, it sure sounded good.
That I got this illustrates the virtue of patience, Saturday lunchtime on Rue Rivoli, one of the busier thoroughfares of Paris.
Parked outside WH Smith, I just sat on it until I had no people or modern vehicles, well, one person is visible, but you sure couldn't date her.

A bit like this car
