I've been looking for a suitable livery for when I get the van finished and ready for paint.  Do you have any suggestions for a really cracking paint scheme / livery for a C Cab AD van ?

If you have any suggestions can you post them here, and if possible along with a pic or two ?

Perhaps we can turn this thread into one that shows interesting liveries on all types of sevens.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
Cheers,
Stephen

The Dagenite Service van looks like a Gordon England van.  I have never seen a photo showing the rear door arrangement before.

Some more for you Steven,

I like the diagonal sign boards that were put on top of many C-Cabs, a lot!

Thanks for all your responses.
I like a lot of the liveries of British railway engines, and was thinking what if some of the schemes could be adapted to the shape of the van??? Would the lining of these be too over the top? Lots to choose form there.

FWIW it may be worth looking at old canal boats for inspiration too. If you possibly can, track down an old-school signwriter and get it done by hand.

Having had a long association with sewing machines I rather like the Singer one...
