1998 Volkswagen Polo | Chorley, Lancashire

A 1998 Volkswagen Polo, the small front-wheel-drive Volkswagen that became a familiar British supermini alongside the Fiesta and the Metro. It stands for everyday compact motoring of the late 1990s, the sort of car many period scenes need. This car is black with a grey interior, a plain pairing that sits quietly in frame and leaves the attention on the location or the cast. For film and TV, it works as a background car when a scene needs a compact vehicle from its period. Advertising and photography teams can use its simple lines for street scenes, and fashion and editorial shoots get an understated backdrop that keeps the focus on the subject. A wedding or personal hire is also possible for anyone who wants a small, unfussy car. It is based in Chorley, Lancashire.
