The numbers
- Door opening: 2.4m wide, 4.5m high, at ground level. No ramp, no step, no lift.
- Stage: the White Space cove, 5.3m wide by 7.1m deep, 4.5m to the lighting grid.
- Flat white floor: roughly 4.6m by 6.4m in front of the 70cm sweep.
- Outside: fifteen parking spaces, room for a trailer or transporter to unload, and an EV charger on site.
- Under the car: floor protection goes down before anything drives on; drip trays as standard for anything old enough to leave a mark.

Sizes are typical for the class; tell us the exact car and we confirm clearance before you book. Gullwing and scissor doors open fully under the 4.5m grid; a DeLorean has been shot here with both doors up.
Turning and positioning
Cars drive in nose first and are positioned by hand or on the stage under their own power; there is room to angle a five-metre car across the cove for the classic three-quarter view. For turntable work the house 1m turntable takes wheels, parts and product, not whole cars.
Who has driven in
Rolls-Royce, based at Goodwood ten minutes away, has shot numerous cars on the stage. Classics, EVs, a Land Rover Defender and a DeLorean have followed. If your car fits through 2.4m of door, it shoots.
Booking
The stage is from £295+VAT a half day. Most vehicle days book a gaffer too; paint rewards someone who lights it every week. How that lighting works is in lighting a car in a studio.
