An acquaintance of mine (https://www.facebook.com/pesfoto) snapped that picture with a traditional camera and Ektar 100 film.

Call me a pedant, (I am) but that's a digital image. I do of course accept that it was sourced on film, but it's digital representation (and a .jpg at that) which will lack some of the nuance and beauty of a physical print. I'd bet a dime to a dollar that what we're seeing doesn't do the original justice.

It does indeed look lovely and shiny though.

Spot on! :bow: The negative was scanned by the lab using Noritsu equipment.

However, not only is it a lousy jpg, but a facebook-compressed one! If I happen to lay my hands on something closer to the original, I'll post it to compensate for that.
 
Luckily my eyes are not bionic, so I'm unable to appreciate the individual nuances and can just enjoy the image for what it is; a great looking photo of a coupe :thumbsup:
 
All right, still jpg but without facebook compression:

Here are some more shots, including some Italian legends and a Morgan 3 Wheeler.
