What is your favourite van of all time?


Classic Morris Minor Pick-Up


The unique Ice Cream Van formed part of a fleet of vehicles owned by the Lincolnshire firm of Skinners and was a familiar sight in the Boston area for a number of years. Originally starting life as a pickup, the model was adapted by its owners and used an extended rear-end with a rigid covered load bed. Today many of these light commercial variants can still be seen, albeit in restored condition, providing businesses with a reliable and appealing alternative to modern vehicles. The pick up version of the Minor was introduced along with the van and chassis cab in May 1953. When discontinued in 1971, well over 300,000 examples of these LCVs had been produced, with one third going for export.
