1991 Fiat 126 | Chippenham, Wiltshire

The Fiat 126 is the small rear-engined city car that followed the Fiat 500 in 1972 and stayed in production until 2000. It is liked for its tiny footprint and cheerful, upright shape. In Poland it became an everyday family car, known affectionately as the Maluch. This 1991 car is finished in Cream with a grey interior, a soft pairing that sits well against brick, stone and painted walls. Its 650cc engine is at the back, and the short body keeps the surroundings clear in frame. It is left-hand drive, which gives a continental look: the driver sits on the kerb side, so the front passenger steps out on the road side. Its compact shape suits European street scenes in film and TV, and advertising or fashion and editorial work where a pale, characterful car adds colour without crowding the set. Photographers and event teams can place it easily in a courtyard, a square or a venue entrance. For weddings and personal hires, it makes a charming arrival car. The car is based in Bath, Wiltshire.
