Del Boy, not Del Ray... they didn't drive a standard Reliant Regal, they drove a Reliant Regal Supervan III (different enough to be worth pointing out) and there was no film, only a pair of feature episodes shot on film (of which To Hull and Back is the best).

The Back to the Future car is the only one being sold with "screen time" provenance so it's not really a film car collection, it's a collection of mad arcade games, terrible kit cars, insane stuff that drug dealers like and one film car (although I'd have Harry Hill's motorised cone).

It's only criminal because they didn't pay 7.9 million of that 8 million in taxes.
 
A damn shame that all that weed has gone.....however thats a very quirky selection of cars to buy with your cash, perhaps they were simply laundering the cash through rare and special cars that would fetch a big price one day.

Still baffles me that these guys were able to get hold of a government owned nuclear bunker for growing weed.

Ex-government, to be clear. In fairness the article doesn't say it's government owned. There are lots of them dotted around the UK and Europe as a hangover from the Cold War.

Back to the Future II BMW aside, the rest are either really bad kitcar/replicas or replicas of vehicles that appeared in film or on TV and probably aren't worth half of what they cost to buy.

Aside from some rare video game cabinets, the only other stuff of value in the collection are watches and some terrible gaudy jewellery that will be worth more melted down.

They may as well of marketed the auction as the 'worlds largest collection of replica tat'.
