1969 Porsche 912 | London

A 1969 Porsche 912 puts the early 911 body and chassis around a 1.6-litre air-cooled flat-four, and it was liked as the more approachable way into that shape. With less weight behind the rear axle than the six-cylinder 911, it has a character of its own. Sobiesław Zasada won the 1967 European Rally Championship for Group 1 touring cars in one. This car is Yellow with a black interior, a strong pairing against the clean, rounded lines of the 1960s. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side, so the front passenger steps out into the road. The compact body leaves room in frame for the location behind it. It suits advertising and photography, where the bright paint reads clearly in arrival and portrait shots, and late-1960s film and TV, where the shape sets the period. Fashion and editorial shoots get a bold yellow against black upholstery. It also works for a wedding or a personal hire. The car is based in London.
