If you can go and see this movie.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3722070/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

There are some nice examples of motoring history in this movie. Including the two van's. No too bad a story either.

Some of the cars used in the movie.

The van is coming up for sale shortly I think, I read an article about it last week somewhere or other.

It was a BBC radio play and it may still be on the Iplayer if anyone is interested, but the descriptions of how the old duck disposed of you know what was so graphic that I wouldn't go near that van even though it was fiction.
