Mash Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I chanced upon the Postal archive website this evening and I hadn't realised they had so many ace vans in preservation. The link below goes to the heritage fleet listing. Click on the article number down the left column and it brings up a larger image. My faves would be the Leyland EAs which are nigh on extinct but also the TV Detector van which is an actual MORRIS Sherpa!!! I'm easily pleased. http://catalogue.postalheritage.org.uk/dserve/dserve.exe?srch_AnyText=heritage+fleet&dsqWords=Phrase&srch_AltRefNo=&dsqCmd=SearchBuild.tcl&dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqServer=localhost&dsqApp=Archive&dsqDb=Catalog&btnSearch=Search Wilko220 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I drive past the Royal Mail garage in Stoke every day. Theres just a couple of Maxuses and one Sherpa in there now, the others have seemingly all been retired. Brings a TEAR TO MY GLASS EYE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pillock Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 The one in Stoke has a fair bit of middle-aged tat in the back which has all faded to a glorious Pogweasel Pink. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 4 Beta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilko220 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Still a good few Convoys and Maxii around here too. Pink indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad D. Conelrad Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 If I ever have children and they get excited when they hear the ice cream van chimes, I'm going to tell them that it's the ice cream detector van. But unless I give birth to 40 year olds (unlikely on several levels) they probably won't get the joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
