We love a good classic ice cream van

Many years ago I used to be in that game. I drove many Bedford CFS… quite a challenge until you got used to them. One was a diesel, the slowest thing I’ve ever driven. My favourite had the 2.3 slant-four, once mastered a pleasure to drive. The company is still going, as far as I know they still have all those old vans but they don’t use them any more.

I saw this at a show recently in Messingham, North Lincolnshire. Ashley Christie
