Think of a famous car from the movies. This guy probably owns it


24 June 2008 0:00 GMT / By Ian Hughes

Anybody listening to Chris Evans on Radio 2 last week might've heard about this.

It's the brainchild and longstanding dream of one man and mighty impressive it is too.

I should point out at this stage, that the site itself isn't all that impressive, but what it advertises is a must see for any petrol head or movie buff.

Back in the 80s, Keswick painter and sculptor, Peter D. Nelson, was asked to lend his classic MG to a film crew and this got him thinking about where all those classic film and TV cars were.

This museum in the Lake District is the end result.

If you think of a famous car, the chances are it's here.

The A-Team's van? Check.
007's DB5? Check.
Del Boy's Reliant van? Check.
Magnum's Ferrari? Mad Max's Interceptor?
Herbie, the Love Bug?
Check.
Check.
Check.
You get the idea.

We reckon this places deserves all the publicity it can get.
