The A-Team is an American action-adventure television series that ran on NBC from 1983 to 1987 about former members of a fictitious United States Army Special Forces unit. All four members of the team were tried by court martial for a crime they had not committed. They were convicted and sentenced to serve terms in a military prison, but later escaped to Los Angeles and began working as soldiers of fortune, while still trying to clear their names and avoid capture by law enforcement and military authorities.  (from Wikipledia)

And stuck away, this remnant from 1983 reappeared recently:

Here it is with a good 1:43 model, suggesting its scale:

And here's one of the A-Team cast with a later version of the GMC :

I think that other companies made similar A-Team vans, including Greenlight and Corgi, but this one has been mine for a long time.  I think it is based on the earliest of the A-Team vans, while others were more likely based on later versions, some perhaps from the movie of several years later, 2010.   Obviously, mine is in "played with" condition, but I kind of like it.
