1986 Volkswagen Scirocco | Newbiggin, Cumbria

The Scirocco is Volkswagen's Golf-based three-door coupé, sold as the sensible way to go sporting. This second-generation car has a longer, roomier body than the first, with a spoiler set across the rear hatch glass that gives it a clear 1980s profile. This example is Red with a Grey interior, a period pairing that reads well on camera. It has been through a full restoration back to the specification it left the factory with, and its condition is excellent. The cabin is compact, with four seats. The crisp, angular lines suit period film and television work, music videos and fashion shoots, while the red paint gives advertising and photography a strong colour to build a frame around. A restored coupé also works well as a display car at events. It is a pleasing arrival car for a wedding or a personal occasion too. The car is based in Newbiggin, Cumbria.
