About

Meet Mr. Popeye – A True Classic

Mr. Popeye is more than just an ice cream van – he’s a piece of motoring history. As the earliest surviving classic Mini ice cream van in the world, he holds a special place in the hearts of vintage vehicle lovers and ice cream fans alike.

Born in 1965, Mr. Popeye served the Midlands area of the UK faithfully throughout the swinging sixties, seventies, and into the late 1980s. Eventually, his cheerful jingle fell silent, and he was tucked away in a barn where he remained untouched and forgotten for decades.

"A special thank you to Colin for coordinating the fantastic presence of Mr. Popeye at the recent Shere Hill Climb event. The initiative to provide free ice pops for the volunteer marshals was an exceptional touch and greatly appreciated. It offered much-needed refreshment on what was a very hot day, demonstrating excellent consideration for our dedicated volunteer team."
