Great clip! I used to own a blue Regal Supervan in the 80's. It made a noise very similar to a Velocirapter in Jurassic Park when I pulled away in it. Also, someone stole it and...wait for it....brought it back! I sold it to a chap who worked at The Tea Factory in Crewe and apparently he turned it over in the Tea Factory Car Park. ;-)
Mate used to have one in late 60s. We once (four of us) went from Manchester to near Huddersfield in first gear -- it was a pea-souper. Police cars were abandoned but the Regal got us home!!!
My mate used to have one of these, exactly the same colour. Back in the days when we were studying, one morning he arrived late at the Poly (Manchester). When he got into the class he was carrying the driving wheel in his hand. He explained that driving from Shefeild to Manchester he'd hit a sheep and the wheel came off. Absolutely true.

Surprised David or Nicholas never got to keep one .. be so funny seeing them pop to Tesco to buy a litre of milk . I still dream of driving a replica one some day
Horrendous British bbc humour. Not to the taste of the millennial generation. How did you find this type of thing funny? Is my generation really so much more intelligent and woke?
So you would be unlikely to make this episode now - without having No More Oil or whatever the idiots are called without them at the very least spraying David Jason with orange powder ?
I'd just love to see the faces of the public in Sir David Jason and Nicholas Lyndhurst drove to some random but busy place got out of their van and went for a beer or something, without fuss or fanfare. Would people believe their eyes?
