Whoever the owner is he's obviously not Eastern European then?

James Hazell had a Stag, and also Dennis Waterman's character in New Tricks! Robert Powell had one in real life back in the 70s which was up for sale on E-Bay a few months ago, but it was in a pretty sorry state!

The A35 van brings to mind the rear side-windowed shooting brake version that was James Hunt's pride and joy. I suppose being a Formula One racing car star he had to be seen driving something that was just a little Austin-tacious!

Yes the wonderful Wallace & Gromit Curse of the Wererabbit. Some chap has created a working version (doubt it has the Bun-Vac though).

The new Bond film 'Casino Royale' has been awarded a Guiness World Record for the most cannon rolls in a car.
The scene, which features in the film, is performed by stunt double Adam Kirley in the Bond Aston Martin DBS.
The car flipped and rolled seven times (what a waste!) after a nitrogen cannon was used to propel the vehicle through the air.
It beat the previous record of six rolls performed by a 'Top Gear' stunt man last year.
