📖 About This Story

Before supermarkets.
Before white vans.
Before next-day delivery.

This Ford Anglia bread van was once part of everyday British life — delivering fresh bread door to door, long before it disappeared from our streets.

Locked away for over 20 years, this van survived thanks to one family who never forgot what it meant. More than just a restoration, this is a tribute to a father, a working life, and a Britain that’s quietly faded away.

This is not a car review.
It’s a story about memory, purpose, and why some vehicles deserve to be saved.
