Jeff added: Ice Cream Van "One of my interests is in model cars and vans and finding out about some of the more exotic vehicles that were turned into commercial vehicles such as ice cream vans. The Boni van doesn't look like the usual Ford / Austin / Morris chassis. It could be more upmarket: Humber, Lanchester etc. etc." Jeff Hughes. Holyhead, Anglesey, Wales: August 14, 2010 |
