The following are needed for a reconstruction set in 2003, so they should be around 2000 models, maybe 1998 at the earliest.

LWB panel van

single cab tipper or pick up

crew cab tipper or pick up

All in plain white.

The shoot is in greater london, will be at least two days maybe three between 6-14th Dec. The panel van and single cab tipper is meant to be belonging to a large building company, the crewcab is a rental, so all would be written up with none damaging temp signwriting.

I know you said white, but did you mean the body white aswell as the cab as most the smiley transit pickups have either blue or black bodies.

I can't believe how little interest there has been in this, all of the transits I need are late model! I have more luck finding Mk1s and Mk2s :cry:

When did I ever say this was for free? When have I ever expected people to work for nothing? Anybody who doesn't believe me, ask Dave and Geoff who were in on the Supergrass shoot.

:? i think with this film work you gota have the correct coluor and size ,look etc ,if you have a white van it needs to be blue if its red it needs to white , :? if its twin wheel it needs to be single etc to get the vans you need you would have to buy a field full before it would be the correct one they want! :?

if you need latte mk6 then just pop out and hire one! :wink:

First of all, white LWB, current in 2003 (not necessarily brand new in that year), how rare is that? Not rare. I am talking about a van (of whatever Mk) registered between 1998 (5 years old in 2003 and 5 years old today) and 2003 (three years old today) I could even go older as long as the model was around in say 1998 and it's tidy enough to pass as say 3 years old, adn put later plates on it for the filming. Secondly, vans on hire fleets will be signwritten, and I need plain. Thirdly, I would still need a driver IF I can get the van from a hire company (and they will allow it to be filmed, some wont)
