General Lee Restoration Pictures

18 October 2012
After ten months of grinding, welding, sanding and painting, Star Car Hire's 1969 Dodge Charger General Lee is back on the road and looking better than ever! What started out to be a 'paint touch up' turned out to be a total nightmare spiralling into a full resto on the car. We cut off the roof (Confederate flag and all), replaced rear quarter panels, tail light panel, trunk floor, lower front valence, rear panel under window, rear valence under bumper and the list goes on and on. We also restored the grille, replaced the front windshield, put new heads on the engine, resprayed the engine bay, installed digital ignition, rewired the car and lots more! A special thanks goes out to Ian Viele and Sammy Reid for all their hard work. Check out the pics below!!

Blast from the Past! The Chris Moyles Red Nose Rally (BBC Radio 1)

04 July 2012

More than eight years ago in March 2005 Star Car Hire lead a fleet of our famous TV & Movie vehicles on a mammoth fund raising journey for Comic Relief that saw us travel the length of the country from John O'Groats to Lands End. Star Car Hire were asked to get involved after celebrity Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles stumbled across the Star Car Hire website (www.starcarhire.co.uk). Moyles and team were fascinated by the array of famous vehicles that included Starsky and Hutch's Gran Torino, The Dukes of Hazzard General Lee, KITT from Knightrider, Back to the Future DeLoreans and The A-Team van but to name a few.

When Will Kinder, producer of the Chris Moyles show, called us up and told us the concept of the rally we were thrilled about getting involved as it sounded like great fun and was in aid of a great cause. As huge fans of the Chris Moyles show it was really quite an honour for Star Car Hire to be asked to be the 'nuts and bolts' of the entire project.

Whilst on the road the Radio1 Breakfast show was broadcasted live from a different location each day with the epic trip finishing up in London on Friday 11th March for Red Nose Night.

The Rally was a lot of fun and a huge success. Star Car Hire helped the radio 1 team raise over £600,000 for Comic Relief so we couldn't have asked for a better result." When is the next one happening Chris?!?! ;-)
