The ice cream van shown in the photograph was built on an Austin Chassis supplied by the Motor Delivery Company of Northallerton, North Yorkshire. The coach building was done by Burn and Slack Ltd. Of St.Helens Auckland County Durham. They were built initially for Treat’s Products of Leeds between 1959 and 1963. We built about 60 units of this model. We built other designs for Reas and Tonibelle amongst others.

Hi Darrin, Sorry for not getting back to you sooner I forgot all about this post until Lisa@yorkstories sent me an e-mail.
Well Darrin there is not much i can add other that i am not a former employee, I live in Belfast and interested in ice cream vans from the 60’s & have a large collection of pictures, mainly from the internet, This interest comes when i grew up in the 60’s my Dad had a few soft ice cream vans LDs and Bedford CAs, And for a while a small fleet of franchised Mr Whippy commers. Sorry i cant shed any more light on your uncles van. Any pics of your uncles van or any other vans would be very much appreciated, Your’s Sincerely. Noel McCullough.
