Vehicle Photography - Wiesmann Hand Built Convertibles

[dabeckster]

I was in Southern France a few years ago and saw a convertible that I’d never seen before. I took the photos below and researched it when I got home from vacation. The car was a Wiesmann, a handmade German car with a BMW engine that was produced from 1993 to its bankruptcy in 2014. It was a very nice car with a gecko as it’s emblem. Apparently the gecko was meant to symbolize the car’s ability to stick to the road like a gecko’s ability to stick to vertical surfaces. This is my contribution to @juliank’s #vehiclephotography #photocontests.

Thats such a cool car had never heard of it before now

[dabeckster]

That’s the only one I’ve ever seen. It’s got to be pretty rare.

[tattoodjay]

I wonder how many were made and are still in good shape like that one

[dabeckster]

That photo was from 2008, so that one may have been brand new. They only made about 180 per year and I would imagine collectors have them stashed away.

[tattoodjay]

That would all make sense
