76MJ012 OXFORD DIECAST Walls Ice Cream Morris J Ice Cream Van

 The Morris J Van was a favourite vehicle for ice cream vendors because of its versatility and style. Launched in 1949 as a 10 cwt van, it was made by Morris Commercial at their Oxford plant.

First introduced as a general purpose van, it featured forward control with sliding doors on each side and appeared in both right and left hand drive options. The chassis was passed to many bodybuilders who adapted it for varied uses from Royal Mail vans to milk floats and of course ice cream vans. The J van stayed in production until 1961

Here our Wall’s Ice Cream Van is registered VME 585 and features the original Wall’s graphics printed in dark blue on the pale yellow bodywork. 

The wings, front, mudguards and bumpers are masked pale blue, while the chrome wheels have yellow surrounds matching the body.  The interior is black.  Note too, the sliding side window effect, the split windscreen and the pear shaped radiator grille.
