Roadside rescue
A recovery Transit in classic breakdown livery reads instantly as period Britain on the road. A brilliant background or hero vehicle for dramas, adverts and music videos, driven on set by our team and re-liveriable in-house.
A warm hit of motoring nostalgia at classic car shows, retro festivals and family days, complete with beacon and recovery kit, as a driven feature or static display.
A characterful anchor for motoring, insurance and breakdown brand activations, launches and press days, and a beacon-topped working van full of period texture for editorial and product shoots.
For decades the recovery Transit was one of the most reassuring sights in British motoring, the yellow van with the flashing beacon that turned up when things went wrong. Rugged, dependable and everywhere, it became part of the furniture of the nation's roads.
Ours captures that era perfectly, a classic Ford Transit in period recovery livery with a beacon and the kit to match. It has the honest, worked-in character of a van that spent its life on call.
We hire it exactly as it is, or our graphics team can re-livery it in-house to a specific recovery brand, era or fictional service to suit a production.
