1971 Volkswagen Beetle | Yalding, Kent

A 1971 Volkswagen Beetle, the rounded, rear-engined small car that became part of everyday street scenes in the 1960s and 1970s. Its air-cooled flat-four sits at the back, which gives the car its short nose and softly curved shape. It is a design people recognise and smile at. This car is Blue with a Blue interior, a matching scheme that looks tidy and calm in a frame. It has a 1641cc engine and is in excellent condition. The compact two-door body leaves plenty of room in shot for the location around it, and the round headlamps and curved wings reward a close-up. On screen it suits period film and television work, music videos and fashion shoots, where a small car from the early 1970s places a scene in its decade. Its simple lines photograph cleanly for advertising and editorial work, and at events it draws a crowd. It is also a charming choice for a wedding or personal hire. The car is based in Yalding, Kent.
