1968 Wolseley Hornet | Belfast, Antrim

A 1968 Wolseley Hornet, the more refined take on the Mini. It has a longer body with a proper boot, an upright Wolseley grille that lights up and a wood-veneer instrument binnacle. Extra sound insulation made it a calmer car to travel in than the Mini it grew from. This car is white with a green interior, a soft period pairing that reads cleanly against both bright and muted locations. The compact body leaves plenty of room in shot for the setting around it. The grille gives the front a face of its own, and the green cabin makes a warm backdrop for close work. It suits period photography, fashion and editorial shoots, and 1960s-set film and TV, where the grille and veneered dashboard reward a close lens. Its small footprint also fits music video sets and events with tight spaces. A wedding or personal hire gets a neat, characterful car. It is based in Belfast, County Antrim.
