    First you have Midnight Express which is stored in a Musuem
    Then you have Alley Cat which featured on the first edition of Street Machine only to be given away later.
    One of my 3 favourite vans - Street Legal which was a former Newcastle van, also was involved in the Penrite commercial.
    Wizard - which had a Ford 460 motor in it and all the money Fuzz spent on it using his credit card.

    Jade and XX-308 as well as The Beast & The Judge must also factor into this.
    Invader 2001 must also get a mention for those famous Gull Wing doors

    Total Eclipse, Miss Misty Blues & Sheer Heart Attack also need to be added.

    This list would be sooo hard to choose from

    There is only three that I remember and to me were the most famous:

    Innervisions http://gallery.perryr.com/main.php?g2_itemId=45345

    Alley Cat http://gallery.perryr.com/main.php?g2_itemId=42787

    Checkmate http://gallery.perryr.com/main.php?g2_itemId=42433



    And of course the Seawitch.

    I'd pretty much agree with Byrons choices right there. I was probably more interested in the Cookie Monster and Big Bird when the Van scene was on but those 3 are definitely the names that pop up the most when people are talking of the glory days.

    I remember Shady Lady, I think it was a near stock 6cyl HJ Sandman with fluffy dice and a mural (more than that but you get the drift!)
