"Hi Paul, I've attached some photos of my plastic ice cream vans. The two large ones are made by Clifford and are colour variants of the same toy. The one you found on Ebay [see below] appears to be a canteen version rather than an ice cream vanFeel free to blog these, Ferryman"
Beautiful Ferryman! Thanks for sharing. For readers' info, the smaller boxed van at the top is Century 21.
Here's the 'canteen version' Ferryman refers to as it appeared on Ebay in April. the picture below is a close-up of the serving window.
Below is a recent Ebay montage of the CORGI die-cast original of the Century 21 version pictured at the top.
Finally I've thrown in these pics of a cool blue Camper Van as it's the May Bank Hols. I spotted this earlier in the year on Ebay thinking it might be JR21. With a model number of 52, the maker's marks appear to be the double MM of Merehall and the crossed HS trident we've seen before on the JR21 Typhoon Motorcycle and Sidecar [bottom]. So there is a connection to JR21 but just who was the HIS toy company?
