Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Keywords : Local Government In England, Coventry, Local Government In The United Kingdom, British Leyland, Leyland Motors, Buses, Business / Finance, Entertainment / Culture

FILM and television work is done also by some of the vehicles in Leyland's historic collection and fees from this and toehr sources enable it to be maintained and extended. It is very much a commercial operation by a company which has recently changed its name from Leyland Historic Vehciles to the rather charming BL Heritage Ltd.

Peter Mitchell, who was responsible for developing the transport collection at Coventry Museum and has written a history of the city's motor industry, is the new managing director. I can think of few more enjoyable ways of earning a living than to wallow nostalgically in a collection of 220 historic vehicles.
