LDV or other shite van wanted for filming

[FredTransit]

anybody out there got an ex PO LDV? Must have a sliding side loader and NOT white! Filming in London on 7 may. Anybody?

[Cavcraft]

Wuvvum?

[FredTransit]

I thought somebody on here had one!

[FredTransit]

..........only his is white!!!

 

[Lacquer Peel]

Could you not run it through a red filter, or something?

[Cavcraft]

Red doesn't need filtering. If you run it through white bread it would though.

[FredTransit]

can anybody think of an alternative? They dont want too new and it MUST have a sliding side door. So thats the transit oot....

[fotorabia]

We ve got one here in Hackney..except sliding door is white and its got a caravan inside it....coat a paint and CGI over the door view?...thought not!

[Wilko220]

If you're desperate enough to really improvise, I'm just north of London and I've got a dark blue 200 Series minibus with a sliding side door. Not insured at the moment though...

[FredTransit]

they would go for a blue one but they want a van. They dont mind tatty but they might not want an odd door. It needs to be empty too.

[FredTransit]

any shite van will do but it MUST have a sliding side door. Black or red preferred, poss other colours but NO white!

[KruJoe]

As mentioned int' other thread, someone needs to buy this and lend it to Fred:

Fred...as u can see..camper conversion..Marc stickered it to convince the law of its legal status...does the window additions conflict with prop originality...give us your thoughts...

sorri Fred..missed that!....

[FredTransit]

Yeah foto it must be empty as the 'crims' need to be in the back and leap out of the sliding side door.

The CF is good, but no side door!

[FredTransit]

they are now saying Yank. With hinge doors. And windows......

[Lacquer Peel]

Just put some Yank plates on an LDV Maxus or something.

[FredTransit]

Genius. Only its set un the UK.

[FredTransit]

I dispair. They decided they would go yank. Spent 2 days finding a Dodge as per their example. Was then told they didnt realise they only came in LHD......

[Junkman]

Dumb, dumber, film people...

[FredTransit]

Dumb, dumber, film people...

 

LMAO!!

[Junkman]

Don't laugh, I have my share of experience with them. They are so daft, they make you fighting mad.

[FredTransit]

PHOTOROBIA YOU HAVE PM!! Looks like they will go for an LDV

[FredTransit]

FFS how hard can it be to find an ex postmobile? Very hard. One on gumtree but its signwritten. Ones on ebay are all points north or white!!!

[messerschmitt owner]

offer them a Citroen Dispatch! It has sliding doors on both sides!

[FredTransit]

Just had an email. Guess what? They want a Mk1 or Mk2 transit. Like i offered em first.......

where will you find a transit at such short notice?

 

[FredTransit]

NO! Not a transit now. Back to the LDV

 

Finally got one to rent from a dealer. He's happy to make something from it as it's only sitting about awaiting export.....

 

 

At least it's got a transit engine!

[FredTransit]

NOPE! it's a Mk1 SWB......
