An Alfa, the Brecon Beacons & some cool tunes

When Cardiff band Winter Villains were looking for a stylish classic car for their new music video, they approached the fine chaps at Retro Cars magazine who recommended Great Escape Classic Car Hire.



The team at On-Par Productions chose our Alfa Romeo Spider for the shoot in the beautiful Brecon Beacons. The car's retro cool design and burgundy red paintwork seemed to work well with the winter scenery, as these photos from the shoot show. Despite poor weather and battling with the Alfa's notoriously weedy ventilation, the car performed faultlessly during filming. 



The production team and the band expressed their thanks for our help and assistance throughout the shoot.  Now we're looking forward to seeing the finished video - watch out for it too as Winter Villains' previous single is excellent.

Fabulous role for a Morris Minor Van

With a little help from Great Escape Cars a characterful blue Morris Minor van is the third star of a new TV series of The Fabulous Baker Brothers.  We sourced and provided the 1971 van through our specialist TV, film and production car business and it was used for six weeks filming between August and November 2012 at locations across England.

Great Escape project managed the supply of the van throughout the production from initial contact with the film company right through to final filming.  We sourced a suitable van of the right colour, age and specification, negotiated with the vehicle's owner and then worked to the client's schedule for delivery and collection of the van to various locations.  Using our dedicated transport facilities we delivered the car to locations in London, Devon, Cotswolds, North East and Yorkshire and provided ongoing support for the crew.  The van was sourced quickly to a tight deadline and we regularly adapted our schedule to accommodate the inevitable changes to the film shoot schedule.

Great Escape regularly provides all types of vehicles to the film, TV, production and advertising sector.  Our ability to source virtually any vehicle from our own classic car hire fleet or through our contacts, plus our nationwide transport service, means we can work to even the most demanding requirements.  For more information on our TV, film and production car supply services call 01527 893733 email tvcars@greatescapecars.co.uk or visit http://www.greatescapetvcars.co.uk.
