There are many stories about the existence and location of any remaining vans from the TV show, with several people claiming they own an "original", however it’s most likely they own a replica van. So just where is the A-Team van? I asked Peter Nelson from the Cars of the Stars museum in Keswick, who owned at the time owned an original TV van as used in the show, however he sold it in 2011. Speaking to me before he sold his van he said: "Only two genuine A Team vans exist. One is in our museum - it was the road van and has Universal title and all paperwork. The second van is the stunt van and it sat outside Universal Studios for many years. We managed to acquire it and it currently awaits restoration. No other vans remain I'm pretty sure of that."

The Cars of The Stars Museum and its sister attraction The Bond Museum, are now closed. The museums owner Peter Nelson has sold his collection to Michael Dezer. The cars of the stars collection will now be housed in Miami, USA, It's a shame the collection isn't in the UK anymore, as it was the only place to see many TV/Movie vehicles, but it sounds like it's new home will have more space and I think visitors can take photos, something it's old home never allowed.

Michael Dezer already has a huge TV/movie vehicle collection and has several museums across the USA. Cars of the stars confirmed they have sold the collection, including the a-team van as used in the TV show, although they didn't mention the a-team stunt van which has never been on display but was also owned by Peter Nelson.

I’ve received emails from several people who made the trip to Keswick hoping to see the A-Team van, and have come home disappointed. So please beware.

The dezer website inventory confirms that it has acquired two A-team vans, an 1983 and 1984 models

You can visit the Dezer Collection website to find out more information about when the A-team van will be on display.

TV Van

The TV van on display at the Cars of The Stars museum.

Van History The vans used in the TV show were made By GMC or Chevrolet and as there was no mention of what model or specs the van had, and because so many vans were used for filming it's almost impossible to give a specific make or model however GMC vans were usually called Vanduras and Chevys were called G-series. Some web sites give very specific information, the size of the tyres, the paint codes etc. I’ve not seen this information first hand and until I do I really don’t want to give inaccurate information. I try to be as accurate as possible and check all my facts before I put them on the site, but some errors may occur so please let me know if any information is wrong. The van was painted black below the red stripe and gunmetal grey above. Many people remember the van as just black, this is because during season 1 the van was so shiny the film crew were often spotted in its reflection, so from season 2 they gave it a dirty look. It also had a thin silver line just below the red stripe and a black one just above, although these are sometimes hard to see on camera. We do know the van was fitted with: Quad tipped exhaust (After season one) Bullbar with 2 spotlights Side-steps Wheel flares 4 Rectangle Spotlights on the roof, 2 clear and 2 orange Exterior Sunvisor Lower front air damn with 2 orange spotlights Roof Wing/Spoiler Custom wing mirrors Red Vector/Hurricane wheels
