1971 BMW 2002 | London

A 1971 BMW 2002, the compact two-door saloon that helped establish BMW as a maker of affordable, performance-minded cars. It is liked for its light, upright body, large windows and a lively feel that made small saloons more fun to drive. This car is white with a blue interior, a clean, bright pairing that sits well against both colourful and plain backdrops. The glasshouse is tall and open, so a camera sees clearly into the cabin, and four seats give room for a small group. The 1990cc engine is the two-litre size the model's name refers to. The period shape suits advertising, photography and film and TV work set in early-1970s Europe. A white body with a blue cabin keeps fashion and editorial frames simple and bold, and at events the car works as a characterful centrepiece. It also suits a wedding or a personal occasion. The car is based in London.
