Total and accurate history from the day it was made ..... originally owned by White Horse Breweries in East Anglia and then by Greene King Breweries ...... it was then laid up for many years in a collectors garage.

Totally original except for `Flying A` and the hubcaps......

The sign writing is on a magnetic panel and It has never been sign written over the paintwork ....... neither has it had any panel damage .....

There were 78,000 manufactured of which about 25 survive in good condition world wide ... there are two in this condition in the UK as far as we know .... the other being in the Beaulieu Motor Museum....

This vehicle was restored about twelve years ago with no stinting on the cost or labour and a full photographic record is available.  The restorer is willing to explain the extent of the restoration.
The van won the `Best Counties Car` about nine years ago ....

The interior is original and in VERY good order with the original, although slightly worn, rubber matting and the original delivery disc attached to the windscreen ... but now faded !!!

The shown mileage is 78,000 approx.

At the Mersey Tunnel Diamond Jubilee National Show it won `Best Post-war Commercial`
