warrenk Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Hi All I have been asked if I know of any one with a Blue Spitfire in the Leeds / Bradford area that can be used for filming? If you own one or know of any please let me know and I will let you have more details. Keith (North York’s AO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badwolf Posted March 8, 2022 Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 If you do go for this, make sure that you read the contract carefully. Make sure that you are correctly insurered and that the contract has a full restitution clause for any damage caused while on set/location or during use, however caused. Film companies are notoriously 'careless' with other people's property and think that anything is their's to do with as they like. Preferably drive it yourself if possible.

It was crewed by a charming couple in 1950s costumes. Her dress and petticoats completely filled the interior of the canopy, leaving just a small clear patch in front of the driver.

My Antic is to repeat the nastyside of dont do it Colin many miles done on a trailer .they strapped it down and fractured the handbrake cable with a wheel strap , tied the broken end bolted with a washer to the floor so the remaining cable only pulled on one wheel !!! broke all door handles and window winders, bent the hood frame and split the hood snapped the dash switches disconnected the speedo and lots i dont remember, they paid for a 3 week hire but took over 6 months to get the car back as a wreck this was for the Antiques road show a red vitesse if those qualify for my Antics rename Ha !!

warrenk Posted March 8, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2022 Right, after all the negative replies we will leave this one, I have had articles on my TR three times as well as on Bangers and cash and all went well but it can definitely have its downside so best that I withdraw this request.

Was it not Antiques Road Trip (daytime TV) where they used classic cars, as opposed to BBC's Sunday night offering? Gully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
