"This vehicle features a classic market/carnival decoration that evokes nostalgia and happiness among people. In Värmland, there's a tradition of markets or "Mârten," as the locals say. In such a context, this vehicle fits perfectly. Food trucks are also quite popular nowadays, so potentially, it could be converted into one. It's up to the buyer to explore those possibilities. The ice cream van is a youngtimer that will officially become a vintage car in 2028. Therefore, it should also be interesting to collectors or museums. After all, who else owns a vintage ice cream van?"

Description

A custom-built vehicle designed for selling soft serve ice cream. Right-hand drive and originally sold in England. Imported to Sweden in 2018. The current owner acquired the vehicle in 2021 with plans to use it at various events. Due to other commitments, he lacks the time and is therefore letting go of the ice cream van.

The vehicle is equipped with a speedometer graded in English miles. The odometer currently reads 143,858 miles, which is approximately 230 000 km. Instruction manuals for both the vehicle and the soft serve machine are missing.

The ice cream van underwent an inspection with conditional pass ("villkors-tvåor") from the vehicle inspection authority on May 19, 2023. A conditional pass means that the owner is required to address the issues but does not need to present the vehicle before the next regular inspection.

The next regular inspection must be completed by July 31, 2024. The vehicle has seen very limited use in recent years, and standard servicing and maintenance are recommended.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The vehicle is equipped with a diesel engine and a manual transmission. It starts easily and operates normally. The additional equipment present in the ice cream van, such as the soft serve machine and related accessories, has not been tested by Bilwebauctions. Therefore, it's uncertain whether the soft serve machine and its associated equipment are complete or functional.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior of the vehicle is tailored for ice cream sales, featuring surfaces that are easy to wipe down and keep clean. The interior design focuses on functionality and practicality, making it suitable for its intended purpose. Additionally, the van is equipped with a foldable passenger seat, allowing for versatile use of the space. You can view the images provided for a visual representation of the interior setup.

  • Exterior condition:

    The ice cream sales-themed special decoration is present on the vehicle, and the paint and decals are in used but functional condition. There is a beginning of rust in the right front fender edge. You can refer to the provided image to see the rust in the mentioned area. Additionally, there is surface rust on the undercarriage, so it is advisable to consider rust protection treatment.

  • General condition:

    It gives a positive impression. The overall condition is suitable for the purpose. Potential future classic car.

Facts about the model

Mr. Whippy (or Mister Whippy) is a soft-serve ice cream brand that started being sold as a franchise by ice cream vendors. Nowadays, the name in England has become synonymous with soft-serve ice cream itself. In England, it is common for independent ice cream vendors to purchase Mr. Whippy soft-serve ice cream mix and sell it from their own ice cream trucks decorated with various slogans and the Mr. Whippy name.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
