A Walls Ice Cream van, but this time the Mini. This version does contain a serving area in the rear. We do still have letters on the ANG002 Walls Anglia about the rear interior section not having a serving section. This is actually correct as the driver would stop the vehicle and serve ice creams by standing on the pavement. The ANG003 was a development that actually avoided this problem and designed in correctly the wash basins. The ANG002 had been in service for a short time when it was discovered that it contravened health regulations. The nearside door was removed and ‘skinned’ over and a sink was added on the inside of the door. Apparently the work was done in three Walls depots and in one of these properties years later they found 200 left hand doors stored away - almost 20 years later. As mentioned in the last Globe there will be new Anglia variants that will be issued in the New Year with modified tooling. Plus a surprise Ice Cream variant in April !!!
