I am sure that this is a topic that must have come up before, but.. As it's festival / show season there are a lot of retro cars (mostly commercials) still earning a living for their owners. Here are a couple i spotted at the mount edgecumbe show near plymouth today: Citroen coffee vans: Or if you prefer your cappucino with a german flavour: Not strictly retro, but it fits the theme: sorry about the poor picture quality, having 'phone issues today. There must be lots more of these, saw an unusual looking large old renault van in use at sumersault festival a couple of weeks ago. Anyone got any more?

There is an old Bedford CF ice cream van that still does it's thing near me in Walton during the summer... It's more of a static machine rather than a 'round the houses' kind of thing though nowadays!

mines a little beyond retro, but still gets treated like this most days- wheels, tyres, a complete mx5 engine and box, and the pressure washer. rear suspension rides a lot smoother with that lot in there!

Next year will see my 1602 pulling an ice cream kiosk around Cornwall. Hope to attend a few shows, including the RR Gathering. Just need to fit the tow bar to the 02.
