Spotted in Sandwich today. A lovely Bedford CA van. I think the Dunlop decals were added more recently, but the paintwork looked original judging by how dull it was and the van looked really solid. The seats had been replaced by Jaguar seats according to the owner, but the van was mainly original.

Incredibly it's all new - this is one of the two CAs used in The Lady in the Van film in 2015, when it looked like this

One chap managed to track down both vans after filming and decked them both out in this blue Dunlop livery. The other one was turned into a camper and he drove it to Budapest and back. Does look really authentic, I reckon he did a great job.

Presumably, a homage to this:

Great job on the period looking exterior.

The carpentry holding the driver's seat in inspires slightly less confidence though...
