Film and TV

[w2r]

We are once again looking for Classic cars for hire for filming on the production of the “Antiques Road Trip” and the “Celebrity Antiques Road Trip” 2013.


Wheel2Reel Ltd our company based in Hertfordshire supplies Action vehicles for TV and Film.
We have been commissioned to work on the seventh and eighth TV series of the “Antiques Road Trip” and the “Celebrity Antiques Road Trip” which are showing now on BBC 1.
This is our third year of supplying vehicles for this programme and we are looking for a total of 32 classic convertibles.
They must be fully road legal being MOT certificated with tax and being in a presentable condition complete with hoods.


For the “Antiques Road Trip” it would entail hiring your vehicle for a period of 15 days filming which is spread over a period of two months to accommodate the Auctions for the series.
We will pay £70.00 per day for the 15 days filming.
The vehicles are driven by the “Expert Presenters” whilst filming and are transported to and from locations on a low loader.


On the “Celebrity Antiques Road Trip” your vehicle would be used for three days filming. This is broken up into two days of buying antiques and one day at an Auction.
Two of these days will be consecutive but the Auction date could be up to two weeks later.
We will pay £70.00 per day for the 3 days filming.
Your vehicle would be collected and transported by us to the locations and the vehicle would be driven by a “Celebrity” and one of the “Expert Presenters”.
Whilst on set your vehicle will be looked after by our vehicle technician at all times.


We are fully covered by insurance for the collection and transportation of all vehicles whilst in our possession.
Scottish Television who produce this series on behalf of the BBC are fully insured for their “Expert presenters” and “celebrities” whilst in their care.
For further information regarding the hiring of vehicles please contact Paul Weekes on mobile 07980 624484 or Matthew Weekes on 07590697119.

Nah, mark 1 Chrysler Neon, that's what you want!!! Convertible? Just hack the roof off with a grinder!

why have a convertible when it rains all the time in blighty..you could really travel in style, & keep your hairstyle in place (more a lady thing)
failing that there is a neon on here with a winch..

I wonder if the guy with the Vitesse convertible ever got his car repaired satisfactorily after he hired it to this programme?

Why? Is your chisel blunt?

Don't forget you may need to reinforce the floor with angle iron

I wonder why they want convertibles? I reckoned that antique dealers would have large estate cars or maybe a van.

Have you seen the program? I think practical considerations don't come in to it, it's so that they can film the "celebs" driving around in classics, in clearly staged shots. Some of the car's I've seen have been decidedly ropey, particularly the Morris Minor convertible that had wiper arms missing/hanging off and often wouldn't start.

A bit of a gimmick really IMHO.

Cheers!
