1989 Porsche 911 | Meols, Merseyside

The 964 generation of the Porsche 911 kept the rear-engined, air-cooled shape drivers knew and added flush bumpers, power steering and ABS. It is liked for that blend of a familiar outline and a more modern feel behind the wheel. Its 3.6-litre flat-six was new to the model. This car is a 1989 example in silver with a blue interior. The cool, restrained pairing keeps the shape clean in frame and gives a stylist a calm base colour. The blue cabin adds a quiet contrast for interior shots. Photography, advertising and fashion and editorial work suit the silver paint and the low, wide-hipped profile, which read cleanly against city and industrial backdrops. Film and TV productions set in the late 1980s or early 1990s get a period sports car, and at events it works as a display piece. It also makes a smart arrival for a wedding or a special day out. The car is based in Liverpool, Merseyside.
