 The one from the series? The registration record suggests it was scrapped in 1990.

Quote Trev's Bedford HA van

An inspired choice of vehicle for the Jazz loving, woodwork teacher, Trevor Chaplain played by James Bolam.
The ex Telecom van was once a prolific sight in school carparks, this wonderfully scruffy example is perfectly matched to the classy new build estate where Jill Swinburn of the English department lives, Trev's girlfriend..
Even funnier, it suits the series soundtrack to a tee, upbeat jazz from the 20's and 30's-the music of Bix Beiderbecke, reproduced by Frank Ricotti one track is even called Viva le Van !..

Most of those pictures come from here except that nice Saab which bent8rover must have forgotten. Haven't encountered it yet, I'm only on episode 2. Very witty series.

chicomarx wrote Very witty series.

Yes - totally agreed. The other two in the trilogy are just as good.

 That will be the explanation for the missing Saab. I didn't know it was part of a trilogy, I'll have to check those out too.

btw Miss Swinburne = :love:

 I remember her more as Fitz's wife in Cracker where she drove a SAAB: /vehicle_267220-SAAB-900.html

 It's the dialogue in this that makes her extra attractive, talking about French movies... Jules et Jim and such. :D She's not a great beauty tho.

 The best DVD pack of everything from the Beiderbecke trilogy plus the pilot (with different cast) and music CD is the 6 disc set Link to "www.amazon.co.uk" . Another classic Barbara Flynn series was A Very Peculiar Practice - Link to "www.amazon.co.uk" with a new set of Series 1 & 2 coming out next month. Not many cars in it from memory, but wonderful humour.
