Description
Ice cream vendor's motorcycle-barrow. Sign written "Good Humour Ice Cream". Since then the sign has obviously been repainted. It now reads as "Tip-Top" in red on a white background and with blue underneath. The vehicle is fitted with 2 spoked wheels in the front and a regular motorcycle wheel and seat with handlebars at the back. Is likely to contain parts from James Motorcycle (see Brief history) however a check against all our James Motorcycles did not find a match.
