Looking to Hire Mercedes for Feature Film

[Film Art Director]

Hi all,

I am currently Art Directing a feature film being shot in London next month (November 2013), and am looking for a Mercedes for one of our characters.

I am looking for:
either a 2005 Mercedes Benz sClass s500 or similar
or even a C-Class (circa 2005 - 2007) or similar

It would only be required for 1 day (exact date tbc) and we are able to pay a hire fee for your time and vehicle. We are filming this scene around the Streatham area (SW17) but exact area tbc.

I look forward to hearing from you, and please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions

Cheers,
Carlo

perhaps you could advise folks what use the car would be put to? A gentle drive down the road? just sitting looking pretty? being the getaway car for a robbery?

yes but the guy said it is needed for an Art project.
So it would need to look nice and work properly. And probably not too modded

Does it happen to be within 3 or 4 miles from the shoot ?

Yes the owner works 3 miles from that location

Should be ideal then.

Any idea what the rates are ?
Once we find out, we could split the fee and bung the owner a tenner or something

They'll never know

Surely, any self respecting 'hero' would want a W215 CL500 - I could assist

nice first post without much information
will the tv company have insurance in case the "star" damages it?
what is the name of the production company?
registered companies with landline numbers?

please don't take this the wrong way but I know of a guy who lost his Aston Martin and nearly his life when he answered a similar advert for a modelling shoot
when he turned up it was 3 Eastern European blokes who threatened to blow his head off and took his car
the locked him in the back of an old stolen transit

That could be the plot of the film !!

^ Must admit that was my first thought too. There have been several posts asking for similar things in the relatively recent past. All have similar worded messages.

But who knows - this one may be different!

But I reckon I can guess the scene to be shot: Car arrives at a freight compound. Bad guy gets out. Car is put into a container. Container lifted onto lorry. Lorry leaves and is never seen again. Car too.

"Car arrives at a freight compound. Bad guy gets out. Car is put into a container. Container lifted onto lorry. Lorry leaves and is never seen again. Car too".

Apparently the above is being considered by the Moderators instead of a Ban!!
