The Mr Whippy ice cream van company was founded in Birmingham, England, in 1958. 1962 the franchise extended to Australia.​

The founder, Dominic Facchino, shipped 10 pink and white Commer Karrier Vans to Sydney , the distinctive Greensleeves melody soon became a kid magnet around the suburbs.​

The old bench seat - long time since we had 3 people in the front.

Parents used to tell their kids that when Mr Whippy played the music it was to let you know that he had run out of ice cream. 🤣

A memory from a childhood ad on telly that could never be shown today. It's been a while since cigs were 33c per pack.

Join the club
Join the club
Join the Escort club
Thirty-three cents
And you're a member.

At school we bought meat pies for 11c and buttered rolls for 5c. I recently sacked a local shop because they raised the price of pies to $8. You could buy a house for $20k.
