1: Colour photographs

These photographs were among my very early attempts and were
the last 12 on a film which I had already started. They were taken
on Agfa CT18 and you will notice that the reds have deteriorated
over time; this was a fault of this particular film. Unfortunately, my
original notes have disappeared as have the labels from the
original slide mounts so that most of the cars are unidentified.
