The movie connection does nothing for me but that's a really badass looking van.

There's no mention of any documentation linking this to "the film"...

Also, not naming "the film" makes me think there's no real evidence that this was used in "the film" and its just a cleverly worded ploy to sell an old stheap.

Thank you for your comment - firstly we do not accept any poor language across the site.

Secondly, we’ve done our due diligence. The van is genuinely screen-used, with call sheets and video evidence to support its provenance, and it’s being sold by someone who actually worked on the film. Any genuine fan of the franchise and characters familiar with the production would recognise this as the real van straight away.

As for why we don’t name the film or use its characters in the listing, that’s simply due to copyright and licensing restrictions — not a lack of evidence. The documentation and proof are there for serious buyers to inspect.

Good luck everyone.

Jeez dude, I could not imagine opening up the internet and being this angry over a car auction… I guess we can all assume you are a DC fan then?…

Was going to bid for this but it'll be too awkward to collect if I were to win, so just want to say good luck to everyone else I am super jealous as I love the character this belongs to

The kerb weight is approx 2100 kg - 2500 kg.
We fabricated the roof rack front and rear bumpers and side steps.
We also added mesh to the windows which are bolted in place.
I’d say at a guess it’s no more than 500 kg in total.
Hope this helps.

Not naming the film or at least giving up easy clues; IF there is a copy write problem.... Leaves me very suspicious as PH auctions and especially valuations do not have the best write ups on the net!!

Thank you for your comment.

As previously mentioned above we have undertaken all necessary due diligence to ensure this is the actual screen used vehicle. The seller has a relationship with the studios and we will honour the legal standpoints laid out by the studio.

You may also see that bidders have clearly worked out what the film is, there is only one current Comic book Superhero film at the Cinema, and if you were to see the film you would see this actual van clear as day.

I have reached out to you separately and directly ref your comment about valuations. This is not relatable and unfair to this particular auction as the van is NO reserve and will sell to the highest bidder.

Thank you again for your engagement.

Good luck with your bidding everyone.

If this is how PistonHeads seems to think they will create a new revenue stream, this kind of reply from someone acting in the role of some kind of authority is not how to do it.
Big big big skepticism on the auction given the lack of actual details and paperwork.

Do mushrooms live under rocks?
Even if you haven't seen the film, 5 seconds of googling brings up hundreds of images of the van on the set.
The name of the character is posted up above by ClaH14.
Who is going to go to the trouble of making an exact replica of a filmset van to try to pass it off as the actual van.
Just goes to show that conspiracy nutters are everywhere these days.

Hello , are the copyright constraints placed on this sale likely to affect a future sale ?

Also, is there any NOVA paperwork from when the van came into the uk ?

Many thanks

The NDA only applies to myself not the future sale of the vehicle.
As for the Nova. The production didn’t foresee the vehicle being sold on. Hence one was never applied for.
If the vehicle was to be transported out the country then returned a nova could be applied for then.

Hope this helps.

And for all the Nay Sayer’s the Vehicle is a genuine piece of Movie Magic.
I am working within constrains but if you put in the tiniest bit effort it’s very very obvious what this vehicle is and the use it was built for.

Hope this helps.

So we've moved onto Non-Disclosure Agreements from "copyright and licensing restrictions".

I don't think I'm the only one who sees a screen-used vehicle with appropriate provenance as a different value proposition from "used in a movie but I can't tell you which one for legal reasons".
