The focal point is off in both photos. It was in the background in the first photo and in the foreground in the second photo. Need photo retakes!
Cool model though.

P.S. the first PIC came out fuzzy on my screen. Might be mine, But it you could delete and re-POST for a better view would be nice. Thanks again for the Scale....
The console and arm rests for the RHD along with a photo of the steering wheel.
For those who would like to see what a photo of what sunbeam model looks like where the focal point is aimed at the subject, not foreground or background...
There is an old saying that says " HE WHO MAKES NO MISTAKES HAS DONE NOTHING " . Durn old instamatics !

It's not the camera it's the user. Same as almost all the photos posted at the shows with the cars off center or the front or rear or the car cut off ... On a stationery object..... Lack of attention is the issue. If you take 5 seconds to look at what's in the frame and what's in focus you can get a decent photo.
It's amazing how people keep making the same mistake... Again and again ...
As the saying goes.. "you can lead a horse to water but can't make it drink".... So maybe you will never learn.... Or maybe it reinforces that "can't teach old dogs new tricks".. it in this case it's not tricks.. just basic attention to the task at hand... Makes you wonder about the quality of other work
Oh and don't forget a bad workman blames his tools...
Bring a photographer I can offer some expertise on the subject of instamatics. Traditional film cameras had a plate that pressed the film flat against the focal plane with rollers on both sides but people who didn't shoot a lot had problems loading film. Kodak invents the instamatics cartridge and hoped the pressure from the closing of the back panel would suffice. Problem was to keep it inexpensive no rollers so there had to be enough space for the film to slide without the aid of the rollers. Consequently the film wasn't pressed against the focal plane so final quality suffered. .
