The Jag has a distinct design that managed to remain relatively modern looking. it is a credit to Jag desingers that they manage to design cars that do not date, and look old, a week after you drive them out of the showroom. having said that, it does have the more modern elements of current jag's and as a result, does not give the 'Old Car' feel that the majority of voters would have been after.........
I am not a fan of the background for this. The car is grey, and yet you have photographed it with a corregated background, which is both grey and in relative focus. The upper part of the car does not jump out from this area, and the roof almost blends into the background. Even the ground, being brickwork, has patterns that detract from the main subject......
The angle you photographed on is a normal, almost boring angle. It is the angle i expect to see in an add selling the car. Photograph at 45 degrees to show the front and undented side panel. As a result, it lacks an artistic flair to the photo that would have helped it. The crop also doesn't help, as it is very similar to what a caryard would use, show the car as big as you can...........
Even the lighting is not great, a bit uneven. Having the shaddow across the front windscreen detracts from the photo. highlights in areas......I find it hard to light a car really well, but when someone does, you can really tell.........
I didn't vote in teh challenge.....I can understand why people thought it was new (or relatively). Hope the comment helps put my opinion across and is of some help
