The October issue of Retro Ford mag is out on Thurdsday. You’d better run out and buy it because the van is being featured. Chris from the mag came up a few weeks ago for the shoot. The day was pissing it down and we couldn’t use the original location I’d found near the centre of Leeds.
After a bit of head scratching, we came up with a place on the Leeds ring road that used to be a second hand car dealers. It was called Route 2 near to the JCT600 Porsche dealers. The place is run down, and there was a canopy that we could use. As soon as we’d parked up a security guard came out to see what we were doing. After we’d explained everything he was quite happy to let us continue.
After a couple of hours there we drove into the centre of Leeds on the A58M to block traffic while Chris drove next to me and the photographer hung out of the window to take pictures. The only ‘beep’ we got was on the final run when the person behind Chris got a bit frustrated, so we both dropped it down a gear and floored it!!
