Cars from the movies & TV at the British Motor Museum

Did you know that the British Motor Museum in Gaydon, Warwickshire is home to a DeLorean from Back to the Future Part II (1989), the FAB 1 from the Thunderbirds movie (2004), even a City Cab from Judge Dredd (1995). Plus a few motors from Only Fools and Horses. Even Jaguar's from Fast & Furious 9, Die Another Day and an Austin Powers inspired Jag!

From the visit to the Brisith Motor Museum on Sunday 5th May 2024.

 

ONLY FOOLS AND HORSES (1981 - 1991, specials from 1996 - 2003)

1972 Reliant Regal Supervan 3

As driven by Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter (David Jason) in the earlier series and episodes of Only Fools and Horses, with his brother Rodney Trotter (Nicholas Lyndhurst). It was used in the series from 1981. Under the Peckham Yellow paint, it appeared in Rowan Atkinson's Mr Bean in blue paint, before a new owner restored it to the Trotter's livery. It was then lent to the BBC to star in the 1996 Only Fools and Horses Christmas Special.

1980 Ford Capri Ghia Mk III

As driven by Derek 'Del Boy' Trotter (David Jason) in later episodes of Only Fools and Horses, with his brother Rodney Trotter (Nicholas Lyndhurst). Derek initially used the tatty yellow three-wheeled Reliant Regal Supervan, but in some later episodes he traded it for a rather lurid liem green Ford Capri, his brother Rodney called it the "Pratmobile". This is the Mark III used in later programmes, but they used the Mark II is some earlier episodes.

BACK TO THE FUTURE TRILOGY (1985 - 1990)

1981 DeLorean DMC-12 from Back to the Future Part II (1989)

This DeLorean time machine has the OUTATIME licence plate at the rear, plus the barcode licence plate from the movie. It probably came from Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida, and probably relocated to the British Motor Museum after Back to the Future the Ride closed down. Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) first showed up with the hover converted DeLorean at the end of Back to the Future (1985) to take Marty McFly (Michael J Fox) and Jennifer Parker (Claudia Wells, Part I and Elisabeth Shue, Part II and Part III) to 2015. As later seen in Back to the Future Part II (1989).

JUDGE DREDD (1995)

1995 Land Rover City Cab

A special Land Rover designed for the 1995 Judge Dredd starring Sylvester Stallone as Judge Dredd. Based on the British science fiction comic anthology, 2000AD. Set in the third millennium. Hidden underneath the fibre-glass body was the chassis of a 1970's Land Rover 101 inch military vehicle.

dndimg alt="Judge Dredd" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/Judge%20Dredd%20BMM%2005052024.JPG" style="width: 100%;" />

 

Seen from above with the Judge Dredd Land Rover City Cab was a Concept Land Rover. To me it looked like a Land Rover Defender as used in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) that starred Angelina Jolie as Lara Croft, but perhaps not. Was also an 'ancient' looking stone tablet with it.

THUNDERBIRDS (2004)

2004 FAB 1 Thunderbirds movie Limousine

The Ford Thunderbird FAB 1 was from the live action adaption of Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds, as directed by Star Trek's Jonathan Frakes. The car driven by Parker (Ron Cook) to chauffeur Lady Penelope (Sophia Myles) in the back. Created by Ford of Europe's design team. It also flew in the movie.

JAMES BOND 007 (1962 - 2021)

1998 Jaguar XKR 'James Bond' car from Die Another Day (2002)

This was the villain's car used in the film Die Another Day, the fourth and final movie to star Pierce Brosnan as James Bond (the 20th movie out of 25 official movies made to date).

AUSTIN POWERS TRILOGY (1997 - 2002)

2001 Jaguar XK8 - Union Jack Livery. Replica of Austin Powers car from Goldmember (2002)

This car was used by Jaguar as a press car, originally in blue. Later re-painted in the Union Jack colour scheme of the car used in the Austin Powers film "Goldmember", before being handed over to the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust. The first Austin Powers film was the International Man of Mystery in 1997, was a comedy spoof of classic spy thrillers. The second film the Spy Who Shagged Me in 1999 used a Jaguar E-type, while the third film Goldmember in 2002 used a Jaguar XK8 convertible.

SHAUN THE SHEEP (2007 - 2016, 2020 TO PRESENT)

2007 Land Rover Shaun the Sheep

Shaun the Sheep first appeared in the Wallace & Gromit short film A Close Shave in 1995. He later got his own TV series from Aardman Animations from 2007 onwards. The Farmer in the series drove a battered old Land Rover. This is a full size version, based on a 60 year old Land Rover Series I, to recreate the unique look of the Farmer's car.

dndimg alt="" dndsrc="../uploadedfiles/communities of passion.jpg" style="width: 100%;" />

There are three components to FreeTimePays.

There’s Community Passport, Community Workspace and Community Matchmaker. Operating right across the platform in recognition of the valuable contribution being made by users is YourPlaceYourSpace gamification. This takes the form of points and rewards for passions shared.

FreeTimePays is here for people who really want to become involved in their community or with their particular passion and for those people who are really serious about making a difference. It’s our job at YourPlaceYourSpace to provide the tools and functionality that helps bring together those who create the great ideas with those who have the potential to turn an idea into something that really does make a difference.

Community Passport

Passport is a personal space which registered members can make their own. With a passport, members can choose to get involved with their passion and participate in many different ways.

They can view regular content and posts; sort and save this content by type or by passion; they can collect points for giving their views through polls and surveys, attend events or even join a discussion.

With a YourPlaceYourSpace Community Passport, members can follow inspiring people and they can learn more about their community and their passion by following regular ‘Did you Know’ features. And the more they decide to do and the more they get involved, the more points they collect and the greater the opportunity to take up offers and win prizes.

Community Workspace

With their unique Community Workspace, YourPlaceYourSpace is able to help those who are inspired and serious about taking things to the next level. YourPlaceYourSpace will give these people their own access rights environment where they can work on their idea or project.

In this digital space they can work alone, or bring in others to share in building evidence, acquiring knowledge and developing plans. This is the ideal space for working on the business; working on the idea; working on the initiative.

A range of facilities and tools can be found in workspace and users can effectively utilise this space for collating documents, photos, videos and web links, for opening up discussion and chat with others, or for running surveys and analysing results.

Community Matchmaker

The whole focus and rationale for YourPlaceYourSpace is MAKING A DIFFERENCE. It’s our job at YourPlaceYourSpace to provide the tools and functionality that helps bring together those who create the GREAT IDEAS with those who have the potential to turn an IDEA into something that really does MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Matchmaker is where the dreamers can join with the dream makers – with those who are more than happy to put their support, their resources, their connections, and their wealth of experience behind the idea and behind the passionate people responsible for coming up with the idea.

These are the community drivers, the investors, the philanthropists, the funders of great initiatives, the Lottery, and those from local government and the public sector who are responsible for the provision of public services.

These are the people and the organisations who are in positions of making things happen for those who are passionate and inspired to want to make a difference.
