A true original

A classic with
a cracking story.

Mr Popeye is believed to be the world’s earliest surviving Mini ice cream van. After decades tucked away in a barn, he has been carefully restored — every chrome detail, cheerful curve and familiar jingle ready for a new generation of happy memories.

Today, he is a one-of-a-kind backdrop, conversation starter and ice cream stop, all in one very small, very special package.
