www.pmpfilms.com the worlds largest collection of transport hobby DVDs featuring buses, lorries, trams and trolleybuses worldwide. Also a vast array of archives you never see on Youtube! Plus digital downloads and links to half a million still images.Welcome to the world of PMP films owned by Dave and Mandy Spencer. It is really a hobby for us and we take great pleasure in meeting with other transport enthusiasts around the world.

The origins of PMP go back to the 1970s when we sold photographs at local transport society meetings in Manchester.

We had a brief period selling models which gave us the PMP name. Peover Model Promotions which also alludes to our home village in the Cheshire countryside.

At the end of the 1980s we started filming on video and by 1989 had launched video sales. We were fortunate in having good friends who gave us access to archive cine film which broadened our range both in time and locations.

As video faded as a format we started to produce DVDs and in 2010 commenced filming in HD or high definition which produces startling quality although it handles motion less well. Our films feature transport items unless stated otherwise. This means natural sound with no narration or music added. We are not a Hollywood production company so don't expect Ice Road Truckers, our budget is a tank of fuel not a million dollars. One customer complained that his trucking DVD had nothing but trucks on it- you just cannot win. After having a knee replacement in Sept 2015 Dave retired from his 'day' job and now works full time bringing you more films than ever.

For snail mail or reference you can download our order form which can be posted or emailed through to us. Use the links to our Smug Mug site for purchasing still photos and downloads. Digital still downloads for all our images was added in 2018 on our Smugmug site together with the introduction of DVD digital downloads on this our own site. Digital downloads for DVDs are on our shop for releases mid 2018 onwards.

2018 also saw the introduction of the Bus Spot Ultra range which revisits the brand which proved so popular bringing it up to date with enhanced wide screen images and where possible ranging from where applicable tram or trolleybus era scenes through to the latest visit available. A snapshot of a location through time. No dubbed sound, light music from the period is added where required on silent cine derived material.

The Ticket-Boo series is another recent introduction indicating that the images are all selected from HD scanned cine film for archives with a high standard of reproduction. We are now experimenting with Topaz artificial intelligence software.
