I think it's more to do with, "When did you last see a *new* ice cream van?". Every one I ever see looks like it was on it's last legs 20 years ago!
There was an 06 plated one in the car park by the castle in Caernarfon last Thursday... I remember noticing it and thinking it was suitably spangly. Prices were no different to normal though...!
