Oxford have chosen an interesting livery on this Commer PB Van. Registered CDW 274L from 1972/3, it is a replica vehicle of Newport based Pitchford & Miles, purveyors or sausages and pies. Their strapline across the two tone yellow and dusky blue vehicle boasts their delicacies as being 'on your table the day they're made'. A colourful lady in full national costume emphasises their Welsh roots. Silver exterior trim, white wheels and a black interior complete the picture. We bet they did a roaring trade delivering to the hardworking industrial areas of South Wales!
