Gavin & Stacey vehicle on the market for £200,000

Gavin & Stacey fans have a chance to own a unique peice of memorabilia from the show  – Dave's Coaches actual coach.

The vehicle, driven by Steffan Rhodri's character, has been listed for sale on  Autotrader for £200,000.

The 1990 Mercedes-Benz Vario 814D is advertised as having had eight previous owners, with 450,000km on the clock.

It featured in the very first episode of Gavin & Stacey in 2007 when Steffan Rhodri's character drove Stacey and Nessa from Barry  to London to meet Gavin and Smithy – and the very last episode, ferrying guests to Smithy’s wedding, below.

The TV links has certainly affected the price, as a similar model that’s 15 years younger and with 350,000km mileage is currently on sale on eBay for £5,800.

The seller is based in Penarth, near Barry, and wrote on Autotrader: ‘This vehicle is instantly recognisable and remains in good condition. Finished in a sleek red and with a 33-seat capacity, the coach comes with the legendary, original "Dave's Coaches" design details, making it a once-in-a-lifetime collectable for fans of the show.

Erin Baker, editorial director at Autotrader, said: ‘This listing is one of the most iconic vehicles we've seen on the Autotrader platform, and is akin to a historic artefact to members of the British public who are super fans of the series. The coach is in brilliant condition with strong mileage and would certainly be great for family use."'y use."
