Maypole Dairies- Perks Morris Van

[mikeflan]

I know this may be a strange request, but is there anyone that might have tucked away an old photo showing a Maypole or Perks  Morris 'J' type van, I know that no one would have taken a dedicated photo of one of these but there may be one lurking in the background of a photo taken in Birmingham or the midlands around the 1959 era, a colleague of mine that lives a long way from Birmingham has one of these vans and is in the process of restoring it, the 'J' and 'JB' type was also used by the Royal Mail at that time too,many thanks for any help.

Thanks to all for your contributions but a very special thanks to you OISIN.....brilliant !!!! I will send show this to my colleague who I am certain will appreciate this and it should give him some impetus for his own van restoration....

Gosh! That takes me back. I used to help my brother do his bread round in Handsworth and Handsworth Wood. He worked for Bradfords and drove one of those. I can still taste the pineapple creams that I ate occasionally.

Is the Maypole Dairies van (or any other) available for sale?

I think it is not Perks but Pearks. Len.
