Custom builds shaped around your brief

Some productions need more than a sourced vehicle. Whether the requirement is visual, practical, mechanical or story-led, Motorhouse Hire can support the creation, adaptation and preparation of vehicles for film, television and commercial shoots.

From subtle modifications and period detailing to specialist fittings, cosmetic changes, replica elements, rigging requirements and one-off build requirements, we work closely with your team to ensure each vehicle is prepared for the creative and practical demands of filming.

Built around the needs of your production

  • Productions requiring one-off or highly specific vehicle builds
  • Hero vehicles needing distinctive visual details
  • Period productions requiring era-appropriate modifications
  • Action sequences needing practical vehicle preparation
  • Vehicles requiring cosmetic changes, repainting or ageing
  • Practical filming requirements involving mounts, rigs or concealed alterations
Motorhouse consistently goes above and beyond. From sourcing specialist vehicles to handling last-minute production demands, they make the impossible feel effortless. Quite simply, I wouldn’t trust anyone more for vehicle supply in film and TV.

Common questions relating to Film and TV custom vehicle builds

Everything you need to know about working with Motorhouse Hire

Can you build custom vehicles for Film and TV?

Yes. Motorhouse Hire can support custom vehicle builds, adaptations and preparation for film, television and commercial productions, including vehicles built from scratch where the brief requires something completely bespoke. When an off-the-shelf vehicle is not quite right, we can help develop a solution that meets the creative, practical and visual needs of your production.

This might include full custom builds, cosmetic changes, period detailing, ageing, repainting, replica elements, specialist fittings, rigging considerations or more involved one-off requirements. Our team works closely with production departments to understand what the vehicle needs to achieve on screen, then helps coordinate the right workshop support to get it production-ready.

What type of vehicles can you provide?

Motorhouse Hire can source a wide range of vehicles for film and television productions, from everyday modern cars and vans through to period vehicles, classic cars, motorcycles, buses, commercial vehicles, emergency-style vehicles and more specialist options.

Rather than limiting productions to a fixed online catalogue, we work with you to understand the setting, era, brief and visual requirements, then help curate suitable vehicles for your shoot.

Whether you need hero vehicles, background traffic, action vehicles, matching multiples or something more unusual, our team can advise on availability, suitability and practical production requirements.
