The RN Van version of the Austin Seven was a converted RN saloon but proved invaluable commercially, especially as a small delivery van. Liptons were family grocers as well as purveyors of tea and on this superbly decorated dark green and black vehicle, the company is advertising 'Liptons for Bacon' as well as their branded tea. The detailed graphics are printed in gold and we see that this little van, registered CG 1775 was based in Winchester. The interior dashboard is dark green and the seats, door panels and 'carpet' are black. Further interior detail includes brown door cappings. Two additional details include a roof board above the windscreen.
