Ron,
I heard that the people who use the cars for shoots just do not care
a damn about them. I had an acquaintance who rented his pristine
Jaguar for an advert shoot. He visited the site and was horrified to
see his pride and joy being used to transport lighting
equipment. Another I heard was told his car would be driven by a
"hand" and he said "no". So they got him to drive it and he got paid
for that too !!
