We’re really excited about the awesome restorations we’ve had the chance to profile – in partnership with Car Facts Disc.
Last month, we chronicled Roger’s emphatic tale of a 1977 Triumph Stag – worthy of a Jack Kerouac novel.
This month, we won’t be embarking on another Petrolhead odyssey. We’re going from epic Grand Tourer to the ultimate chill mobile.
Antony Persuto owned a ’59 Commer Karrier ice cream van for 40 years. If you hung around Walsall Market, you probably glimpsed it a fair few times.
When Antony hung up his cones in 2011, Ian Smith of Leeds rescued the van and got to work on a 3-year restoration. Here’s Ian and his Ice Cream Van!
Bring on the sunshine, searing temperatures and a familiar jingle announcing the arrival of a cone and lolly extravaganza…

Light and simple. Like vanilla ice cream on a cone – this was an enjoyable restoration, and continues to serve the worthwhile cause of making kids, adults and kidults smile.
Such stories are made more accessible with Car Facts Disc. So if you’ve got a story to tell, do the automotive world a favour and get yourself one!
Until the next time, this is Classic Cars and their Owners. Sayonara folks.
