Classic & Sports Car’s photographers have been brightening the pages of the magazine all year, helping us keep the classic car spirit alive and in full colour, even in lockdown. So let’s celebrate their work as they share their favourite photos of 2020.

Neither Greg MacLeman nor I had ever been to Palm Springs in the Californian desert, and the party town didn’t disappoint.
Coming from the February gloom of Britain, the dazzling colours were achingly beautiful with the low angle of light picking out details in high contrast.
The Lincoln Continental was exactly right to cruise the wide avenues and manicured boulevards, perfectly complementing the 1960s architecture – and it featured in our June 2020 issue.

The Cord 810 Beverly was the final shoot in our old studio before we moved out.
The car was driven down from DD Classics’ unit in Brentford and the driver didn’t want to turn it off while we gave it a wash in case it wouldn’t fire up again. It then promptly stalled and, true to his word, wouldn’t restart.
It was a heavy old beast to push up the ramp into the studio, I can tell you, but a fascinating machine to photograph for our October issue.

I picked this image because the amazing Golden Sahara II (from our February 2020 magazine) was such an interesting car and I loved the bespoke light-up tyres recreated by Goodyear – not to mention the opportunity to change the colour of them to match the lighting I chose!

Shooting three lovely old Porkers in early spring sunshine for our April issue… What’s not to like?
