1982 Vauxhall Chevette | Glasgow, South Lanarkshire

The Vauxhall Chevette was a small rear-wheel-drive British hatchback, built from 1975 to 1984 and the country's best-selling hatchback from 1975 to 1978. It is liked for its angular lines and a sloping nose with inset headlamps. This 1982 car is finished in black with an orange interior, a warm contrast against the dark paint. It has covered only about 12,000 miles from new and had a single owner before the current one, so it looks and feels much as it did in the early 1980s. Condition is very good, and it seats four. That unworn state suits period film and TV, where a 1980s car needs little preparation to look right. The black body and bright cabin give photography, fashion and editorial work a strong colour contrast, and the plain, upright shape sits well in music videos and advertising. It also works for weddings and personal hires. The car is based in Glasgow, South Lanarkshire.
