1995 Renault Clio Williams 2 | Nottingham, Derbyshire

A 1995 Renault Clio Williams 2, the continuation of Renault Sport's first Clio hot hatch and a benchmark of its day against the Peugeot 205 GTI. It is known for a naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine, a wider and firmer chassis, flared arches and a bonnet bulge. Williams Formula One lent the name, though the team had no part in engineering the car. This car is blue outside and in, an unbroken colour scheme that photographs cleanly against 1990s locations. Its compact three-door shape leaves plenty of room in shot for the setting around it, and the flared arches give the sides definition under light. Period film and television road scenes suit it, as the small hot-hatch profile places a scene firmly in the decade. Advertising, music video and fashion shoots can use the blue-on-blue colouring as a clean backdrop, while motoring events and enthusiast photography have the Renault Sport story to draw on. It also works for a wedding or personal hire with a 1990s theme. The car is based in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire.
