Vans have been around for well over a centaury and served every form of business imaginable - some purpose built whilst some of the smaller models are clearly car derived - everyone from the postie to the plasterer, corner shop to the courier runs them - so vans - post up your pics please - I'm kicking off with one of my iconic favourites the 'Morris J Type'
i know they have become a cliche on wheels as well as every food/coffee/prosecco/gin wagon on every high street.. but i really am a sucker for the ultimate mobile tin shed!

I remember one of these trundling around the campsite in Le Mans flogging special race editions of the local newspaper. The van had speakers on the roof and the driver was bellowing out (presumably) the benefits of purchasing his wares. Needless to say, sales of a French newspaper, announced in French, on a mainly Brit site wasn't exactly hot.
So being helpful types, we decided to coach him on his sales pitch.
I don't know if it turned his fortunes around, but hearing, "...c'est le dog's bollocks," ring out as he continued his rounds made us smile.
