Whilst in London recently we came across this ice cream van working for a living. It was parked up in St James’ Park near to Buckingham Palace, and appears to have been there every day over the summer. This is another of Whitby Engineering’s modern-day recreations that seem to be cropping up in all sorts of touristy places, such as the Embankment.

In its previous life 942 BYY was a GPO Planning van, which appeared on Ebay in reasonably sound condition but with its side windows panelled in.
