The second is an ice cream van and is for sale in classic car buyer,

My own project JB van has passed its MOT, it is now sitting on axle stands under the carport as I'm about to remove the rear axle for an overhaul and alter the rear axle ratio from 5.625 to 5.125 to 1.  This equals about a 9% reduction in engine RPM. This change is to lower engine noise/RPM at any given road speed and to improve the MPG on a long run, it is not that I want to go faster.
I will be doing a "blog" on this modification and will be taking plenty of pictures as I undertake this job.
