MP008 - Edition 2,000 |

Walls |

A Walls Ice Cream van, but this time the Mini. Like the previous models
and the Burger Van below this comes in the special presentation cases.
As all members will know, the the original issues of the Walls vans sold
out a little too soon and I’m sure this variant will be just as popular.
This version does contain a serving area in the rear. We do still have
letters on the ANG002 Walls Anglia about the rear interior section not
having a serving section. This is actually correct as the driver would
stop the vehicle and serve ice creams by standing on the pavement. The
ANG003 was a development that actually avoided this problem and designed
in correctly the wash basins. The ANG002 had been in service for a short
time when it was discovered that it contravened health regulations. The
nearside door was removed and ‘skinned’ over and a sink was added on the
inside of the door. Apparently the work was done in three Walls depots
and in one of these properties years later they found 200 left hand
doors stored away - almost 20 years later. As mentioned in the last
Globe there will be new Anglia variants that will be issued in the New
Year with modified tooling. Plus a surprise Ice Cream variant in April
!!!
