1988 Volkswagen Mk2 Scirocco GTX | Oxford, Oxfordshire

A 1988 Volkswagen Scirocco Mk2 GTX, the sporting version of Volkswagen's second-generation coupé. It sits on Golf underpinnings, with a softer profile than the first Scirocco, a horizontal beltline and a spoiler set part-way up the hatch glass. Longer and roomier than its predecessor, it took over from the GTi in the UK in 1984. This car is white with a black interior, a crisp pairing that lets the rounded corners and level beltline read clearly. Its 1.8-litre petrol engine drives the front wheels, and the cabin has room for four. The shape suits 1980s film and TV work, where a hatchback coupé of the period sets the scene straight away. Photographers and fashion and editorial teams get a clean white body and a long, low silhouette, with the spoiler giving a distinctive rear three-quarter view. Music videos and events gain a compact period backdrop. Weddings and personal days out suit it as well. The car is based in Oxford, Oxfordshire.
