Tonibell (with cow) Bedford CA Ice Cream Enthusiasts collecting the Oxford series of Ice Cream Vans will agree this is an absolute cracker! The latest all over pink liveried Tonibell van represents one of the most famous ice cream vending companies of the 1960s. The Tonibell vans, launched in 1960, were originally blue but changed to the 'hot pink' colour in 1969 and have remained in this colour scheme ever since. The Tonibell ice cream chimes were unique, as was the Tonibell cow on the roof, although this feature disappeared in the 1970s when the vehicle suppliers to the company changed. Their slogan was famous too - 'Make Mine a 99' - which was emblazoned on the sides of the van. There were lots of other colourful images to attract sales, including windows full of pictures and prices of the different ice on offer. Many of these have been faithfully reproduced on the Oxford replica, including the cautionary signs on the rear of the van - 'Slow' and 'Watch that Child'. The model carries the registration number DTU 250F and we wonder how many of you may have queued up for your '99' at this particular van, with the Tonibell Cow chiming and looking down on you from the roof.
