This catalogue entry records a 2001 Lotus Exige Series 1 in yellow, a sports car, from the 2000s.

The 2001 Lotus Exige Series 1 in yellow is filed under Sports car and Modern, within the 2000s picture cars.

2000s on screen

Costume references remain useful even when the decade feels familiar, preventing a vehicle entrance from mixing a recent-period street with clearly present-day personal details. Modern shopfronts can be easy to overlook in recent-history work, so location photographs should be read for signs as well as for the buildings behind them. Number-plate styling needs checking for the particular story date, especially where a close rear view turns a small registration detail into a prominent part of the shot.

Possible roles in a production

Visible badges and registration details deserve review in a close sports-car shot, particularly where the production needs fictional plate treatment or cleared branding. A sports car can appear in a quiet personal arrival, with no need for fast movement to give the vehicle a place in the story. A static sports-car portrait can be planned around the side view or a chosen detail, while clothing and location establish the tone of the image.
