Wallace and Gromit’s star attraction

Wallace and Gromit’s Anti-Pesto Van is the latest exhibit to join Beaulieu’s On Screen Cars display.

A plasticine version of this Austin A35 van was created for the film Wallace and Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.

Nick Park, creator of the Wallace and Gromit animations, used to own an A35 and thought it was the ideal model to use in the film because “the van needed to be big enough to transport Wallace’s invention, the Bunvac 2000, while slick enough to go on high-speed chases”.

On Screen Cars can be seen as part of a visit to the whole Beaulieu attraction in Hampshire, which also includes the National Motor Museum, World of Top Gear, Beaulieu Abbey, and Palace House and gardens.
