Hey all, does anyone have recommendations for locations that make for great photoshoot spots for cars? Mainly thinking about SE England but further out is good too.
Been searching on Google maps for a few hours but can't seem to find a good spot that is car-friendly.
The only 2 places I personally know of are Denbie's Vineyard and The Brookwood Cemetery.
Thanks in advance
Photo spots/locations?

Purely as you mention Denbies Vinyard you could take a short drive to Wotton House
Nice spot outside the front of the house, or you can drive to many many areas in the estate such as Friday Street with access from the main road
I was there in May

A lot will depend on what you are looking for as far as a set up and back drop. Do you want a nice old building in the background or do you want action shots, nature etc
As Keith said, the area in and around Goodwood is great for it. Lots of fun twisty roads, natural backdrops, plenty of places to pull over and set up, some nice little villages around the area as well, Petworth, East Dean etc. There are some good spots up on the roads near Goodwood racecourse like Selhurstpark Road, Kennel Hill, Goodwood Racetrack etc. Then you've also got Arundel just down the road which is a great backdrop if you can find the right spot (easier said than done). You can also head down into Chichester Harbour and get some good shots with the waterfront/boats as a backdrop... places like Bosham, Itchenor etc (tide dependant).
Herstmoncuex Castle is a decent one if you want something like that in the background as well. You can pretty much pull right up to the front of the castle and snap away. The same with Amberley Castle. In both instances you might be asked to move along eventually but you'd probably be fine for 10-15 minutes right outside the front.
There are plenty of places about all over the south downs really. Sometimes you just have to go for a drive and see if you stumble across somewhere.

There’s the lay-by up Duncton Hill, Goodwood Motor Circuit (there’s always someone taking a photo out the front or in front of Earls Court), Tangmere Aviation Museum with a few jets in the background, Ford Airfield with the Hunter, The Kennels, The Trundle car park, Langstone just after the bridge on Hayling with the harbour in the background, Selhurst Park Road with Bognor Butlin’s on the horizon, loads of places down here

Many thanks for all the helpful replies chaps, seems that Goodwood is a common mention so that'll be the top of the list.
Gonna be a busy couple of weekends!

Thanks Stefan and all~ it’s as you state, you’re perfect spot, is you’re view and perspective, I’m sure if I took a photograph of my car in, say, Brixton high St, it would do it justice. It’s all subjective.

That's exactly it, the F-Type fits in everywhere whether it be a pretty countryside backdrop or a side street in London parked out front of an 'under the arches' type unit which says something about the timeless design of a car if it works in all situations

Wasn't able to head down to Goodwood this weekend but I got some nice shots taken towards the west-end of Forest Road, just off the A321
