Post Van (RWS)

Tom Tipper (the postman) had a Post Van, which he used to collect and deliver mail. The van was once taken away and replaced with a bike while Tom was ill, as the postmaster saw it as too old and expensive. However, when Percy accidentally ran the bike over, destroying it beyond repair, Tom received a new van after the postmaster decided that it was worth the expense after all.

Basis
The Post Van is based on a Morris 12/4 CWT Y Van, built in 1943.

Livery
The Post Van is painted red with a light grey rooftop. It has the Royal Mail logo on its sides. Before its restoration, its hubcaps were painted black, but have now been repainted red.
