The vans in those days especially private traders were mostly Ford Transits, in virtually any colour but white. The Co-op used to paint all their vans in a hideous blue until about the early nineties, then everything went all white. They were previously that fond of the old blue that everything that stood still long enough got painted Co-op blue. I am sure they kept Mason paints in business well and truly, it must have nearly tipped them off the edge when they gave up on the blue. :lol: Was this the launch of the White van saga..............
