Cars and vans have long graced the big and small screens. Sometimes they are the useful or not-so-useful vehicles of the characters, or sometimes they are the characters themselves, becoming iconic and well-known figures.
Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Inspired by aero-engined racing cars from the 1920s, this vintage car started out as derelict. But thanks to numerous modifications, she displayed some amazing abilities. These included becoming a hovercraft when stuck on a sandbank and a flying car when stuck in traffic – something many have wished for!
The Mystery Machine
The neon colours of this van made it as instantly recognisable as Scooby-Doo and the gang as it reliably transported them to mysterious locations. If you are looking for a reliable used van, take a look at what is in your area. For example, around Oxford search for used vans for sale Oxford.
Reliant Regal Supervan III
A real vehicle, this van is most famous on TV as the yellow three-wheeler of Del Boy and Rodney in Only Fools and Horses. It has a top speed of only 55 MPH and just two seats (meaning passengers had to ride in the boot) and seemed to be permanently falling apart.
This was not the only comic outing for this van – in blue form, it was also one of the vehicles of the hapless Mr Bean. Find out more about this three-wheeled van at the National Motor Museum website.
Brum
This small vintage car sneaks out of the museum for adventures in the city with his friends. Foiling numerous criminals, with lots of slapstick along the way, Brum helps keep Birmingham safe from these comic villains until the day ends in a dance.
While most vehicles cannot catch criminals, purchasing a used van from a reputable provider such as https://cotswoldvancentre.co.uk/buy/used-vans-for-sale/oxford/ can help you stay safe on the road.
Lightning McQueen
Ka-Chow! Lightning McQueen, the cocky rookie race car, burst onto our screens in 2006 in the Disney Pixar movie, Cars. Across several films, Lightning McQueen won races, travelled around the world and even enjoyed some romance.
