Left Hand Drive Car Req'd for Feature Film

Post by maj1912 »

I am looking for a left hand drive car (and poss. driver) for a scene in a feature film that takes place in a canadian taxi cab. We would require the car for a day's shooting currently set on Sunday 25th May near Stansted.

Any cars considered, but a 4x4 would be ideal.

Many thanks.

I fear you may be out of luck here :( If you are after authenticy, the French cars popular in this forum were never to my knowledge imported into Canada. In fact the hydraulic Citroens were not even approved for use in the USA or Canada.

4X4 French cars are not exactly common either. Somehow I can't help feeling that the only two that come to mind, the Citroen BX 4X4 or the Peugeot 405 Mi16X4, would look mightily out of place in your film. They're hardly ever seen in the UK.

I know the original question is out of date, but the DS and CX were imported in to the USA. The XM had one private importer which sold a few examples.

Why not simply mirror image the shots showing the wheel?
