Stevie Rodgers (Australia)
June 2001
The above photographs have been kindly sent in by Stevie Rodgers a third generation Scots Italian now living in Australia. The early van belonged to his grandfather Leonello Giovannetti (featured) who originated from Barga but plied his trade in the Ardrossan and Saltcoats area between the '50s and '70s. The van for those of you who remember was a familiar sight on Ardrossan North Shore during the summer. (Click to enlarge)
Many thanks Stevie for your contribution.
