I spotted this as I drove past a scrap yard today (would have stopped but it was closing up) and if you can make it out through the chain link you will see what looks like an old milk float but looks like it had an enclosed rear. The front was almost completely flat and looked like it had a door. The wheels were also not the usual milk float style as they looked a bit vintage. Any ideas?  I tried zooming in and changing the contrast to make it clearer;  And in the same yard I spotted this;  Dave. |

That is the Stanley Adams van above. Although it has now been sold on and resign written in the same style but for a different company.  |
