Cars for film & TV hire

1980s car hire for film and TV

Eighties vehicles can support domestic routines, work journeys or more deliberately styled shoots. Start with the part of the decade the story needs; a broad retro mood is not the same as a dated street scene. Background choices, plates and shop signs should agree with the clothes in view. Include quieter everyday vehicles when the location is meant to feel lived in. 1980s is represented by 379 listings here, dating from 1980 to 1989; the individual vehicle pages provide a closer look when you have a particular story year in mind. This selection appears most often under Classic, Sports car and Hatchback; look through the individual vehicles to find choices that sit comfortably with the scene you are developing. The colours listed most often are red, blue and white; those choices can help you narrow the search when the visual reference has a clear palette in mind. For 17 listings, the images were supplied by the vehicles' owners.

The 1980s are a popular setting for coming-of-age dramas, retro commercials and synth-heavy music videos. CarSeen lists 379 cars from the 1980s for film, TV, commercial and photoshoot hire, from Ford Sierras and Austin Metros to Golf GTIs, Mercedes W123s, Porsche 944s, DeLoreans and Lamborghini Countachs.
