Need help: owner of early type 44 and digi-cam wanted

Hi all,

As you might know, I'm rather interested in digi-manipulation of pictures 
to create spoofs, or protos of what might have been. Longer-time 
subscribers may remember the A8 Avant spoof, which I did for Dutch AutoWeek 
in '99.

Anyway, I'm working on two such projects at the moment: a proper V8 Avant 
(front view is finished, working on the rear view right now) and by special 
request on a type 44 two-door Cabriolet.
I'm making the latter on the base of a photograph I've taken a while ago. 
While the exterior proved easy enough to make (a two-door 44 looks 
extremely good!) the interior is somewhat harder to recreate. The 
photograph I'm working from has too many reflections in the glass to show 
the interior properly, and trying to enhance the quality leaves a rather 
unnatural result. None of my brochures or press kits show a type 44 
interior in that exact orientation, not even a close approximation.

Therefore, I need the help of a list member with a digital camera and a 
(preferably early) type 44. I would like to send the base pic I'm working 
from to you, and receive a couple of pics from you in the same orientation, 
one with the front door open, one with the rear door open. Some (though not 
too much) light in the interior would be handy, and daytime shots are 
preferred. If you'd like to cooperate, please get back to me and we'll 
discuss matters. This is a fun project, and maybe with your help someday 
this car will actually be built!

TIA, and regards, Tom

PS I'm always open to suggestions for future projects...
