Gordon Van
« on: August 18, 2014, 04:23:23 PM »
The catalogue for the 1954 Cycle and Motor Cycle show has an intriguing line or two about the Vernon's stand. Has anyone else ever come across a mention of the Gordon Tradesman's Van?

Well Malcolm ran this one past me first and it's news to me , I have to assume the idea went nowhere but ..... One of my real loves is sign written small commercials !! Now I wonder hmmm , something along the lines of a Bond Minicar van ? I could do that , it would not mean spoiling the original and the van capacity of 25 cu ft gives the dimensions . Ideas on a postcard please

Do a second Gordon if there are enough bits left over? As you say small commercials are fun and popular. You might get a bit of a deal together with a local firm, Vernon's......., who can use it for marketing for splitting the budget with you, solving a potential parking/storage issue.

Vernons pools are no more al but I do know a long established business from within 3 miles of the Gordon factory - our family business ! Not really suitable though - Civil Engineers don't have much use for lightweight vans
