I know it's not an Austin, (quite) but I love the graphic simplicity if this one.

This van was apparently used by the LMS Railway Co for their bill posters from 1933.

This is what we went for, fairly simple and based on period photos of the Gas Light and Co. fleet 

   


 All depends what you are looking to replicate, a period van for a company or advertise an existing company - take inspiration from some of these excellent photos that have been posted and talk to your signwriter as to what they are competent in doing.

Hi all. Great pics.
I thought I would add some more food for thought. I made a line drawing taken from a well known photo and made copies of it that I could colour in with pencil crayons to show different combinations of colour to get an idea of what I thought looks good on the shape of this van. I am posting the line drawing so that those of you wish to, can print copies to have a go at what you think looks good.

 I will endeavor to do some illustrations based on steam engines and coaches that might look good and post them in a bit.
Stephen

Matchbox made a toy Chummy van in at least 20 different colours and liveries including different colours above and below the waistline, if you do a Google search you might find some you like or dislike.
