Interesting news about a film due to be filmed in Stoke. They require an assortment of classic cars and vans. I've pointed them towards Whitby Morrison of Crewe, ice cream van builders, as they run a fleet of preserved vans including Mr Whippy vans.

Dear Rick,

I really appreciated your help last time and I am contacting you again for a film query.
This time I am working on a more important project, a film called Souled out, which will be shot in Stoke-on-Trent from mid-august, and is a co-production between Ipso facto Films and Dreamfinder Productions. Genre: Drama/Music. Director: Shimmy Marcus.

It is a period drama set in the seventies. We need a large amount of late sixties / early seventies vehicles:

-An Ice-Cream Van (Mister Whippy style).
-a van
-a Burger Van
-cars

I know how efficient your website is, and I was wondering if you could help me again. We are looking for some owners around the area of Stoke-on -Trent, Manchester, etc.... The location being so far from London, we are forced to call out for private owners, because using Action Vehicles from London would be logistically impossible.

Of course there is money and credits offered, although we are working with a tight budget. As there are so many vehicles needed I will only be able to provide money details on a one to one basis, especially if we end up being able to negotiate several vehicles from a same owner.

I hope to hearing from you soon,
Best,

Gaelle Lindingre
Art Director

With that title, the film just has to do with a club that was in the Stoke area around that time called The Torch....It got burned down if I remember correctly.

I've always thought that it was funny myself. Folklore has it that it was well known gangsters that torched it....they did a couple more in the North West apparently as well..
