All-terrain Ice Cream

 A couple of years ago whilst wandering around Whitby I discovered this Land Rover ice cream van, and thinking it quite unusual, took a couple of pictures for reference.

I hadn't appreciated at the time that this was a (reasonably) common Land Rover use (not thinking to Google it!). Whilst in Norfolk earlier this month I found a couple more examples actually using their all-terrain ability and travelling along the beaches bringing ice cream to the bathers.

The first was in Hemsby.

The second literally followed us along the beach in Scratby, first appearing almost mirage-like on the horizon before eventually catching us up. Of course we had to stop him and buy one (or four).

This is actually quite a new one compared to the others, with very swish alloy wheels. Somewhere I have a set of those from a Cararama model.... The old Airfix plastic kit might be a good starting point for a 1/43rd model as it ought to be easier to cut about than a die cast model.
