PeterT Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Folks, We're doing 'Made in Dagenham' at the College I work at and although we've been able to source a set, the one thing we haven't got is the MKII Cortina revealed in Act II. (the Company we've hired the set from didn't have the space so sold it on afterwards.) Does anyone have one we could borrow or perhaps know of a group I could contact who could lend it to us. (happy to collect and return) for the week of the 13th of May? Ideally in the South West but can travel further within reason.Or failing that, does anyone have a large picture of said car as we do have access to a Roland Versa Print so could print one ourselves. Many Thanks for your help
timsabre Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 A group I know have just done this in Hull and I think made the car, I will ask about it. Maybe Hull is not travelling within reason, anyway I'll ask
timsabre Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 The group tell me it was part of the set from Scenic Projects.http://www.scenicprojects.co.uk/shows/Made-In-Dagenham
PeterT Posted April 10, 2019 Author Posted April 10, 2019 Thanks for checking Tim, I've now been told we have a car sorted, but I'm just looking at contingency plans in case that falls through.
Junior8 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 You might struggle. According to How Many Left there are less than 10 MkII standard left. Mind you there are 260 1600Es about licensed. The one in the pic's test ran out last September
timsabre Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Yes sorry I am confused, the one in the pic is not the prop car from scenic designs. It's one they borrowed locally for promo photos. The prop car is just the front half of the body as a shell.
sandall Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 It's one they borrowed locally for promo photos. It did look amazingly realistic for a stage prop !!
andrewg112 Posted April 15, 2019 Posted April 15, 2019 Hi Peter,At Scenic we have two cars, there is a 'front' body of the Cortina, and we also have the west end version which is basically an electric golf buggy with an open top fibreglass cortinon the top. They both work really well depending on your space. When we did the production ourselves, we used the half Cortina on the stage and used the large prop for some publicity. We also very very luckily had a local owner of a Cortina Mark II who loved coming down and showing off the car at the theatre every night. Cortina
tonytech Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 A group I know have just done this in Hull and I think made the car, I will ask about it. Maybe Hull is not travelling within reason, anyway I'll askAccording to DVLA BAM 510H (1598cc) was manufactured in 1970 (so presumably tax exempt) but first registered in 2015???
