1994 Renault Twingo | Birmingham, Warwickshire

A 1994 Renault Twingo, from the first generation of the French city car known for its rounded one-box body, cheerful face and sliding rear bench. The bench moves to favour passenger room or luggage space, a neat trick in a car under 3.5 metres long. Its vivid launch colours made it a distinctive 1990s city car. This car is green with a blue interior, a pairing that suits the Twingo's soft, rounded lines. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side, so the front passenger steps out on the road side, and the car carries a continental look that fits a French or European setting. Its compact shape and period character suit 1990s scenes in film and TV, as well as bright urban photography and fashion or editorial shoots, where the colour and rounded body read clearly against a street. Music videos and event displays gain a playful small car with a friendly face. It also makes a characterful choice for a wedding or personal hire. The car is based in Birmingham, Warwickshire.
