1990 Volkswagen Golf | Kettering, Northamptonshire

This is a second-generation Volkswagen Golf, the Mk2 that carried the hatchback through the late 1980s. It grew longer and rounder than the first Golf, and it was named What Car? Car of the Year for 1985. People remember it as a sensible, well-built everyday car with a clean, upright shape. This car is red with a grey interior, a simple pairing that sits easily in a 1980s scene. It seats four. The upright body and large windows keep interiors easy to light and shoot, which helps on advertising, photography and music video work. In film and TV set in the 1980s, an ordinary family hatchback is exactly the car that belongs. Its plain lines also suit fashion and editorial shoots that want a retro, street-level feel. Weddings and personal hires are open to anyone who likes an unfussy 1980s car. It is based in Kettering, Northamptonshire.
