Classic commercials on set!

Fancy getting your commercial classic on set?
I found this site via an LDV link:

Some classic looking stuff in there! :car2:

Do you think they keep them all taxed?

I don't know! Although a lot of them will surely qualify for tax exemption if they are pre-1973?

It looks to me as though, from their slide show, that only two of the "Henry's" may qualify for tax exemption. Those being the Mk.1 Transit and Escort, although if it is a genuine RS 2000, that is questionable. The only other one I can see that may qualify is the Bedford TK. It is possible that they don't tax any of them, if filming is not on the public highway, they could trailer or drive them on trade plates to the location. Altenatively just tax for purpose as required.

Hmm, some good stuff there! I wonder how they go about filming an early 80's Transit for example on a closed set on Public roads? The van wouldn't be able to show a current valid tax disc for authenticity, but it would be on the public highway albeit on roads which are closed to the public, so would it need one?!?
