a note from Ken Kimber:
"I am always interested in the livery used on commercials and have been watching the above thread.
Not able to view the photograph in question, however I am somewhat surprised that nobody has mentioned the picture on page 111 of the Source Book. This is dated November 1927 and shows Freddie Henry with a C cab van which belonged to Austin and is signwritten Austin and was recalled, correctly I am sure, as being Maroon with Gold lettering.
Even I am not old enough to have seen vehicles pre WW2 but in the fifties local dealers had service vans painted Grey and Maroon - Vanguard Models sell an A35 Van in this livery".
