A-Team van tops movie poll

recent survey conducted by Swinton Commercial, the commercial vehicle insurance retailer, has revealed that the iconic black van of the A-Team is the UK’s most popular vehicle from the movies.

The online research, which took in the views of 1,200 customers for their most loved cars and vans in film, saw the van from the 80s TV series draw in 32 percent of the vote.

The GMC Vandura van, which is distinctive by its trademark red stripes, took the top spot in the poll by an 11 percent margin in the end beating Herbie’s Beetle.

Commercial Vehicle Manager at Swinton Commercial, Phil Moss, said:

“The A-Team is still one of the most iconic TV series of all time, and this week’s release of the film version means that a whole new generation are likely to become fans of the famous red and black GMC! The poll of our customers also shows that vans are still the choice that stands the test of time when it comes to our favourite movie vehicles.”

Other famous vehicles in the top ten were the DeLorean from Back to the Future (with 8 percent of votes), KITT from Knight Rider (10 percent) and the Ferrari 250 Spyder from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1 percent).
