interior design architecture of a mobile shop

Trader on his mobile shop; selling brooms and wicker ware from his customised moped with front loading bay, roof and display rails. He was plying the Klong Toei district next to the port and kindly granted a shot. But i think he wasn't quite sure what to make of the foreigner bending down to get a low viewpoint at his fantastic display :)

This mobile market shop was built by Minonzio on an OM 50 base.

The renewed OM digital series (or X-series) light trucks received new cabine in 1972, and consists of models 50 up to 100, depending on the maximum payload capacity.

As OM was part of Fiat V.I. since 1966, these trucks came also available under the Fiat brand name in 1972.

 

The pre-1972 OM digital series trucks had more round cabins, and were replacing the old OM series trucks with animal names like Tigrotto, Tigre, Lipetto, Cerbiatto, Daino and Orsetto. These model names were used until 1967.

 

The OM and Fiat X-series truck names were replaced by Iveco Zeta.

Door-to-door sale was very common in the Netherlands. It was common at the countryside as well as in the city. In the village I grew up I remember there was bread, groceries, milk, fresh fish, and even coal was sold at the door.

This Spijkstaal mobile shop type usually was used by the milkman, with dairy, supplemented with groceries.

 

I don't know what happened with this van. The whole area has been demolished and cleaned up there.

The first generation Daily was developed and presented by Fiat, although FIAT Veicoli Industriali was already part of Iveco at that time.

Iveco was officially found in January 1975 with the merger of Fiat, OM, Unic and Magirus-Deutz.

Till 1982 the Daily was sold under the Fiat brand name. The Fiat logo was in the center of the grille, while a small Iveco logo was to the right at the bottom of the grille. From 1982 to 1983 it was exactly the opposite, like in this case. After 1983 the Fiat logo, or also OM and Unic logo, disappeared totally.

The digit 35 indicates the maximum load capacity of 3.5 tons.

The Gova Truck Company was specialized in ambulant shop trucks. The company was founded in 1955 in Wormerveer, NL.

In 1980 the company was bankrupt declared but parts of the company managed to continue as Gova Service.

Cooperation with Spijkstaal in 1991 finally led to a merge of both companies in Sept. 1992.

In 1996 all activities of Spijkstaal came to an end.

This truck is now out of service as a moving vehicle. It is now in use as a food truck.

These trucks (or vans) are a rarity in Dutch streets.

 

34 HP petrol engine.

2170 kg.

Original first Dutch reg. number: March 29, 1972.

New Dutch reg. number: May 1986.

License number temporary invalid since Aug. 7, 2006.

Project 365 // Day 7

For their 50th anniversary, Sanrio's mobile "Pop-Up Shop" is touring across the country. The mobile shop offers a myriad of exclusive and limited edition Hello Kitty merchandise, only available through this special event, set to conclude later this year in New York City. While I'm not a huge fan of Hello Kitty, my lovely wife is, so I had to check it out. :)

This funny small electrical delivery van is from Dutch origin. They were used by the milkman or bakery or other ambulant shops.

You don't need a drivers license to handle this little delivery van, it doesn't wear license plates either.

One can say with electrical traction Spijkstaal was in fact times ahead.

This vehicle used to have a cargo cabin at the back.

I ‘m who I am there’s no regret

I don’t blame you I blame the fates

 

Lost in this tale of dark and death

I feel the human’s final breath

 

The hope is gone, there’s no way back

What’s left? A shadow not a man

Week 9 Creative : Forsaken, A forsaken mobile shop, once very popular and very much needed in Rural Donegal and Ireland now left in a field to rust away.

This weird contraption is living out the remainder of its days well off the beaten track in the middle of a peat bog in Ness, on the Isle Lewis. I stumbled across it 12 months ago on a night photography trek to the shielings of Cuishader. When bad weather cut last year's trip short, I knew I'd have to return another day night to carry on where I'd left off previously. In the meantime I've learnt a little more about the area and some of its inhabitants.

LARGE view

 

Several people have contacted me since I posted my first batch of Cuishader photos in Feb 2011, sharing their knowledge and experiences of time spent in the area. Piecing together various snippets of info, I've managed to come up with an abbreviated history of Jimmy Bullar's Tea Hut. There may be a few errors and no doubt many gaps to fill but it's entertaining nonetheless....

 

JB's tea hut appears to have started life on the island as a British European Airways passenger bus, operating between Stornoway and the town's airport. The bus was one of approximately 300 Commer Commando Observation Coaches, built in 1947. When it was retired from airport duty it became a mobile shop, operated by Kenny Maclennan. At some point in the 1960s it was acquired by Kenny's brother, Jimmy 'Bullar' Maclennan, proprietor of Stornoway Builders Ltd, It was used as a mobile canteen and accomodation unit for the firm's employees, hence the 'Tea Hut' designation.

 

In addition to running Stornoway Builders Ltd, entrepreneur Jimmy built 'The Acres' hotel in Stornoway. In 1968 he managed to infuriate local Free Presbyterian Ministers by selling alcohol on the Sabbath. The Wee Free powers that be (aka the Tartan Taliban), used their not inconsiderable influence to bring the businessman down. The hooded crows had their day, with the hotel being put up for sale in 1972. Meanwhile Jimmy's building firm also hit the skids. In a separate incident in 1976, his house in Smith Avenue, Stornoway, was completely destroyed in a gas explosion. Dramatic times!

 

Following the collapse of Stornoway Builders Ltd, the 'tea hut' found a new owner and was ultimately transported to Cuishader, where it became a static home from home for some of the part-time peat cutters of Ness.

De tram is als lijn 12 onderweg naar het Amstelstation en verlaat hier net de vertrekhalte bij Amsterdam Centraal Station.

Possibly one of the last operational AEC Reliances still 'working' in Malta is this one, formerly registered as FBY 798. I believe it is still owned by 'Cancu' Supreme Travel and works nowadays as a mobile sales outlet selling souvenirs close to the company's sightseeing tour sales outlets. This particular day I photographed it as it left the stand in Sliema after a morning there to spend the afternoon at the cruise liner dock. As it's no longer a 'bus', it's not eligable for the new style 'BUS ...' registration plate. Bodywork was locally built by the Barbara firm.

I couldn't see any Citroën emblems, but judging by the rims I believe this mobile market shop was built on a Citroën HY chassis.

The shop body was made by the Baeten coach work company, Melle (Belgium).
