Default Blow Up (1966) locations / cheap website / will photo in Midlands
Hi ALL,

Are there any members interested in this film who would like to share location knowledge and photos with me, with a view to going on photoshoots at some time?

I am also intersted in setting up a website for the information and photos I already have, but am restricted budget-wise. Does anyone know of a good, reliable provider?

Any info gratefully received. In return I can photograph in Midlands (I'm based in Wolverhampton).

Regards,

Wasn't the Rolls-Roce Silver Cloud III "Chinese Eye" MPW used by Hemmings the Director's? I assume that the Mews were in the West End somewhere.

MPW is Mulliner Park Ward, the coachbuilders I presume?

Yes...MPW Continental style, and very prone to rust!

Info gratefully received guys.

The RR (EVM 734C) used by David hemmings was white when Jimmy Saville owned it, but got painted black for the film (along with lots of other things painted a different/enhanced colour for this film - the footpaths and grass in Maryon Park, for example).
