Hi
Last night's prgramme about weather ahd various clips showing old veicles, one in particular intrigued me, a 6 wheeled ice cream van; Luccas of Musselburgh.
Does anyone remember/ know what it is?

It's still in use. I think it's a Hustler based on Mini components.

Yes peter scott is right
Never thought a hustler six wheeler would be turned into an ice cream van actually!

Wow the R-R is the "bees knees" isn't it, to use a phrase of the time.

There's no denying, these RRs have their uses. I don't think this was the only RR breakdown vehicle in Edinburgh either.
