A real car-derived baker's van with wartime history, driven on set by our team and ready to re-livery to any bakery, grocer or brand of the era for period dramas, adverts and music videos.

The van

From Austin saloon to wartime baker's van.

This Austin Six started life in 1933 as a car, built new by Austin. At some point its rear body was converted into a van, and it went on to earn its keep as a baker's delivery van in England, working right through the Second World War when every vehicle was pressed into service.

That history is written all over it: the petrol-blue paint and sweeping black wings, the side-mounted spare, the split rear doors and the honest, well-used patina. It is the kind of between-the-wars character that art directors and brands chase and cannot fake.

Today it is a road-legal picture vehicle, cared for and driven by our own team. We can respray, wrap or hand-letter it in house to suit a shoot or campaign, and return it afterwards. Self drive is not offered.
