"This rare version of the Austin Mini pick-up ice cream variant was seen in an episode of The Professionals series (1977-1983)"
and a Minivan in the background!

The Professionals star Lewis Collins died aged 67, his agent said. The actor, who played Bodie in the crime drama alongside co-star Martin Shaw, died in Los Angeles yesterday after a five-year struggle with cancer.

...circa 80-81 that one ... like the petrol pumps to !!!...yes r.i.p lewis Collins yet another soul succumbs to the scourge of the planet !! Cancer is a ******g awfull way to go.. thankfully huge progress is being made to cure some if not all forms of this dreadfull illness that respects no age ... we all ought to support the various cancer charities and the wonderfull work hospicies do..a special thanks to be mentioned to the West Sussex Mini Owners Club ,a number of friends of mine are MCR members there to..for the amazing financial support in monies raised to help cancer sufferers..i especially refer to Chestnut Tree Hospice amongst others... most of us have been touched or have family or friends that have effected by Cancer.....foxy52

I used to sneak off upstairs to watch that on my portable black and white whilst the folks watched the 9 o'clock news. Great programme. It's been re-run on ITV4 recently in the early evening, still a good watch.

On the subject of Ice Cream vans, there was one at Tatton Park back in June...

Looks to be left hand drive, so I suspect it will be some sort of cooling outlet for the ice cream unit :)
