1980 Chevrolet Corvette | Cranleigh, Surrey

A 1980 Chevrolet Corvette, from the third generation of America's two-seat sports car. The model is known for its long, low shape and four round rear lights. The television series Route 66 tied it to the open road in the early 1960s. This car is white with a red interior, a clean pairing that stands out against brick, glass or open countryside. It is left-hand drive, which gives it an American look: the driver sits on the kerb side, and the front passenger steps out on the road side. The red cabin adds a strong contrast in close shots. The low body gives photographers and directors a clean profile to frame, so it suits advertising, fashion and editorial shoots, music videos, events and 1980s-set film and TV. It also makes a distinctive arrival for a wedding or birthday. The car is based in Cranleigh, Surrey.
