Manufacturer description

Here at Oxford, we've produced Di Mascio Italian Ice Cream liveries on many different body shapes and colour schemes over the years, getting more vibrant and innovative as time has gone on. Here, we go back to the early days to bring you a Morris J Van Ice Cream Van in maroon and cream, registered WHP 881 and with none of the modern day hype. The graphics simply promote Delicious Ice Cream and sensibly feature the Danger Children Crossing warning sign to motorists across the back. Offset with black and silver trim and maroon wheel inserts echoing the body colour, the model represents the everlasting appeal of ice cream to children then and now. The Morris J van lent itself to a variety of uses and provided the perfect vehicle for ice cream vendors of the era.
