After years of correspondence with Tim and some unfortunate setbacks that were none of his fault, I was finally able to get Tim’s VP Senator replica into a magazine! I must have started talking to Tim about it over seven years ago while still working with Street Commodores full time. Let’s just say it was worth the wait, as the photos should confirm. It’s a beat of a car, dripping with detail and Holden V8 goodness.

Andy Roberts’ concours-level 1951 Volkswagen Split Window Beetle was first registered in NSW, Australia in 1952, two years before imports began, making it the first ever registered in the state. It was treated to a ground-up restoration in the 1980s and remains one of the finest examples you’re likely to see. I had the pleasure of seeing it up close when I shot it for VW Magazine Australia and you can see the photos and read the story in the latest issue, which is out now.

Huss Ghamrawi’s incredible, home-built mish-mash of a Holden VL Commodore and R33 Nissan Skyline is probably the coolest car I’ve photographed in recent memory. It was featured in the June 2017 issue of Street Machine magazine.
