It was the third and last episode tonight, but is on the BBC iPlayer for a while, search for 'BBC IPLAYER' and you'll find it under 'C', so you can watch it in full. The episode unfortunatley was not totally about the model Van collection, it was shown as an example on how to control and display a vast collection to someone else!

You would need a Transit to move that collection!

How appropriate!

Peter Lee has been a good friend of mine since the early 80's, He was the president of the National Street Van Association and still is one of the clubs leading members.
I camped in his field at the back of his house last year before moving on to the NSVA Van Nats which is held in the village where he lives, I was supposed to view his collection but for some reason I never got around to it. 4 days on the booze probably had something to do with it.

Any chance you can convince Peter Lee to join the forum Nick, that would be an exclusive, a telly star amongst our members, sounds good!
