Hi,
My car was used for a shoot ( video and photo) to promote a new launch of wedding and event venue in Sintra, Portugal. Lovely late 19th century palatial home with 12 acres of gardens .

Regards
Pedro

Why they probably didn't use the entire car:

Fifteen years ago, my car was used for a Casio Camera commercial. (they wanted a car the same color as the featured camera)

Mercedes-Benz must be either very expensive for rights, or a real stickler regarding their logo/brand. Anywhere the logo appeared was deleted- like on the hub caps, rear deck, front grill etc. Seemed strange to me at the time but now I understand.

Great Pictures of your car

Great pictures of the car - the young lady looks sad in the pictures.

Well, she's getting married. Of course she's sad!

Thanks .... Car looks a lot neater in the photos than close up and live where "blemishes " are more visible .
Gave it a quick clean.... Still finding dried flowers after a few weeks but wasn't to bothered as it was due for a garage visit to check on emission, consumption etc.

Thanks Ralph. The complete shoot took a whole day with quite a sizable crew running around ... albeit most of the time was focusing on the gardens, the house, the table set up and decor etc etc

John, I hadn't thought of that , not showing MB logos . Now it makes sense ...I was a bit surprised when I saw all the pictures ( over 40 of them) and all seemed "cut" except the one from above .

Ian, she does look sad. But I think seeing it live she was looking sultry or relaxed ( or trying it ). There was looks of filming too. Thing is it was January and pretty cold. Every now and then they would stop and someone would run over with a thick winter coat and hot drink for the model.

Rothko..... No she didn't get married 😂 She turned me down...said she wanted someone much younger than the car and I'm a couple of years older...

That's the horrible truth about owning a classic car. You think it's going to attract hot young women who want to go for a drive with you. Instead, it only attracts dusty old guys who want to tell you how they used to own one.

Absolutely 😂

Worked for me 45 years ago and she is still my navigator. The car was only seven years old then but I already considered it a classic

One of the sweetest posts I have read. Thank you!

there is a car in the wedding shoot? I didn't notice........

Pawel66 · « **Reply #18 on:** April 03, 2021, 01:23:12 »

it is there, under the flowers.

Rothko,

I beg to differ, do you mean something like this? No photoshop here, the real thing.

I see numerous dents on the trunk lid coming...

Alex D · « **Reply #21 on:** April 03, 2021, 20:56:01 »

Not one dent, and if there were dents they can be repaired, photo opportunity - once in a life time, priceless.

John,

Very nice ....but there is the thing ...you were 45 years younger 😂

PSB · « **Reply #23 on:** April 03, 2021, 22:48:02 »

Alex,
I retract my comment . Proves its not the car but the owner ...... Now I'm devasted ! But I'll get over it
