 The tax disk on the full size version of the van shows the color of  the van as being "Preston Green." This name was decided upon by the  Art Director and one of the founders of the International Austin  A30/A35 Register in honor of Nick Park (qv)s home town of  Preston, Lancashire, England. It is also a reference to the  ferocious dog in _Wallace & Gromit in A Close Shave (1995)_ (qv).
