Tonibell Pink |
|
The very popular Tonibell livery on the Bedford CA in pink. Tonibell was
started in 1937 by Italian-born Toni Pignatelli and his Scottish wife.
Known as Tonis, it consisted of a small ice-cream manufacturing plant in
a shop in the High Street of Middlesex. Their first mobile vehicle was
purchased in 1951 - a tricycle fitted with a holdover box to carry
ice-cream. A year later a small van was converted into a mobile
ice-cream vehicle complete with chimes. Business expanded and the name was changed to Tonibell and over the years the company changed hands many times and at its peak there were over 500 vans and 15 parlours. |
