You’ve seen them defy gravity and dodge bullets. You’ve envied all who’ve ever driven them.These are the iconic movie cars that you’ll never own. But what if you could lease one?
We’ve ignored reality entirely and come up with some eyebrow-raising estimates on what it might cost to lease these four-wheeled legends. Let’s get irrational.
1. DeLorean DMC-12 – Back to the Future
Year: 1981
Estimated Value: £40,000–£70,000 (quality replica)
Lease Cost: £500–£700 p/m
It’s stainless steel, impractical, and the boot’s smaller than the glovebox, but it’s as iconic as Marty McFly’s Nike Air Max on a hoverboard.
2. Aston Martin DB5 – Goldfinger
Year: 1964
Estimated Value: £5.25 million
Lease Cost: £45,000-£50,000 p/m
Machine guns in the headlights, tyre slashers in the wheels, a smoke screen on command, and yes, an ejector seat. Imagine.
3. Batmobile (Lincoln Futura) – Batman (1966)
Year: 1966
Estimated Value: £4 million
Lease Cost: £42,000 p/m
You’d technically be leasing history, heroism, and a license to gadgets. Optional extras? Justice.
4. Ecto-1 (Cadillac Miller-Meteor) - Ghostbusters (1984)
Year: 1959
Estimated Value: £250,000 (restored original)
Lease Cost: £2,500 p/m
Technically a hearse, practically a hero. No ghost too small. No situation too weird. No turning radius worth mentioning.
5. General Lee (Dodge Charger R/T) – The Dukes of Hazzard
Year: 1969
Estimated Value: £30,000–£50,000
Lease Cost:£400–£600 p/m
The king of countryside chaos. Just orange enough to be illegal in three counties and built to take-off more often than a Ryanair flight on a bank holiday weekend.
6. Herbie (Volkswagen Beetle) – The Love Bug
Year: 1963
Estimated Value: £100,000
Lease Cost: £950 p/m
Comes with more charm than your nan’s sherry trifle. Warning: may fall in love with other cars, or race off without warning.
Back Down to Earth
Too rare, too expensive, too fictional to be parked outside your house. So, if local dealership’s out of time-travelling DeLoreans, we can still hook you up. At Summit Drive, we believe every car should make you feel like the hero of the story - even if it doesn’t talk, fly, or shoot flames from the back.
