Feature & short films

A period picture car for films shot in Barcelona: 1981 body, period alloy wheels, a Spanish registration of the time. It places a scene between the late seventies and the late eighties before anyone speaks — feature films, short films, film-school projects.

TV & streaming series

The car lives in Barcelona all year round. Over a shoot of several weeks it is there for every block — same car, same plates, same trim. Continuity without a transport bill.

Music videos / clips

Open for the performance take, closed for the night drive, roll-bar in frame for the drone shot. Three looks in one classic car for your music video, changed between setups.

Commercials & brand films

A light blue metallic that holds any grade, chrome that catches the Mediterranean light, a cockpit with a wooden wheel and a cassette deck for the close-ups. For TV commercials, brand films and social campaigns.

Fashion editorial & product shoots

Look-books, album covers, watches, fragrance, apparel: the car frames a model or a product as well as it carries a scene.

Weddings & portraits

For professional wedding and portrait photographers: a vintage convertible, top down, in a Catalan village, on the coast or in the city.

A one-of-a-kind convertible

In the late seventies BMW built no 3 Series convertible. The Stuttgart coachbuilder Baur designed one its own way: safe, thanks to a fixed roll-bar across the cabin, and versatile, thanks to a roof cut in two — a panel that lifts off above the front seats and a soft top that folds down behind the bar. BMW's own 3 Series convertible only arrived in the mid-eighties.
