FredTransit Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 In Sheffield, so one that lives up North is best. It's set in 1986, so something a lot before that is favourite. The character is a college girl, so I don't know how she would afford a newish car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksy Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 A freind has a really cool '84 Corolla Saloon that may be availiable. looks about 4 years old too. i.e. pretty tidy, but with the odd dent. Mr Hoker of this parish has a pic of it somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredTransit Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Might be OK as a dressing car, but they want a renner or fiat, and it has to be A framed as the actress can't drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volksy Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 No worries, will pass the message on and see if she's up for it.There is someone on here with a very early panda, but its an LHD import I think..Is it Ratdat who has an '83 R5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratdat Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Yeah, I've got an '83 R5 with tax and test... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredTransit Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 what's the earliest that would pass for? As an A reg would only be 2 years old in 86. The character would not be able to afford a 2 year old car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiatdaft Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 72-85 so should be fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratdat Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 I think this type with the later dash came in about '79. I'd say it could pass for a 7 year old car in '86 as it's a little dog eared but still reasonably respectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredTransit Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 So 79 would be prefect? The shoot is 12th, 19th, 20th and 21st of April. Would you and/or the car be available for then? One more thing, they wanted to apply removable graphics to it. They mentioned flowers. They won't damage the paint (as long as I watch them doing it, been there before ). Would that be OK?

One more thing, they wanted to apply removable graphics to it. They mentioned flowers. They won't damage the paint (as long as I watch them doing it, been there before ). Would that be OK?Yeah, I could do that. They can stick graphics on it no probs, it's no show car! I take they'd be covering costs etc. Sheffield isn't far from here so that's no probs. I'll take some pics of it tomorrow and send them to you (pm me you email). I need to refit the original front bumper as at the moment it has a gordini one on it. i have the original though. There's a bit of rust but nothing more than a seven year old Mk1 R5 would have had at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FredTransit Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 Ah THAT Torsten! I thought you were off here. Yes thanks just replied to the email, waiting to see if the landy I have in mind is available (last seen in 'The Queen', the 80s bit). Thanks mate, appreciated even if it doesn't come off.

FredTransit Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Yes, please most definitely thanks. How many do they want? When I heard about the band I figured they might was a tina of some sort one day..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HillmanImp Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Heres a picture of my Scirocco with the Toyoya Volksy was on about if you are wanting it for window dressing.  Is on a normal plate now. Thinks its a B plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 I've got a 1985 Fiat Panda, but unfortunately I've hit a busy patch (not really unfortunate but.....) at work so might not be able to get the time off..... Anyway Fred, looks like the AS guys as usual have come up with some good options though  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredTransit Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Actually Panda was asked for, but I am not convinced they would be too new (for the character). When did they come out? Vin would you not be happy about leaving the car with us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredTransit Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 scratch that, just looked it up and I see it came out in 1980 so would have been 6, just about old enough for a student. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Yes 1980, 81 in the UK though, earliest would be on a W plate. Mine has the wrong wheels for one that early though.Sorry didn't notice your bit about just the car being available if necessary. I've no problems with stickers, just as long as they're careful as you have said.So yeah car could be available. It's taxed and tested too.

FredTransit Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Ok I am just waiting to see if they want the renno, as Ratdat got in first i will get back to you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vin Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Sure no problem Fred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'coli Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Does it matter if the correct bits are attached to any of the 2? As a student, if you need new parts, you buy what fits your budget, so an 81 Pasnda might get fitted with wheels from a written-off 85 etc..

FredTransit Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 yes I agree, if the part or accessories are available between when the car was registered and when the thing is set it's OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
