1998 Peugeot 106 GTi | Margate, Kent

The Peugeot 106 GTi is a small front-wheel-drive hot hatch, liked for its light weight and eager 1.6-litre 16-valve engine. It joined the facelifted 106 range in July 1996 as a spiritual successor to the 205 GTI. Autocar lists 117bhp and a kerb weight of around 950kg. This 1998 car is finished in orange with a black interior, a warm, bright colour that stands out against brick, concrete or open sky. The GTi version adds a bodykit and alloy wheels to the compact hatchback shape, so it sits tidily in frame. It seats five, which gives a small crew room to travel together. Its late-1990s hot-hatch character suits period screen work, music videos and automotive photography. Fashion and editorial shoots can use the orange paint as a strong colour note, and the small footprint leaves the location visible around it. Weddings and personal hires are welcome too. The car is based in Margate, Kent.
