Definitely one for those that like their Mini to be chunky and perhaps rare! The latter being dependent on whether or not this is a genuine Rover Cabriolet ... the ZeeMax sticker does make me wonder. Anyway, for those that like to know such things, the Rover Mini Cabriolet was launched in July 1993 and depending on who you speak to or which magazine article you read, production numbers were as low as 300, making it one of the rarest Mini's every to go on sale.

This week's Sunday Challenge was to shoot something personal with the added twist of having to combine it with a previous technical challenge. So, I decided to use this old enamelled belt buckle I bought many years ago and to give it the selective lighting treatment. Throughout my own life I've been a huge fan of Elvis Presley and as a young man I used to love wearing thick belts with large buckles like the one you see here. This one is rather special though as it was a limited edition produced by the American Legends Foundry to mark the life of the King of Rock 'n' Roll. I really felt it would be ideal for the selective lighting treatment. My only concern was that I wanted to bring out the vibrant blue enamel that forms the background to the design and so had to be careful with how I positioned the Maglite torch that was my only light source. In the end I think I got it just about right.
