The van will be operated by Lyons Maid (East Africa) Ltd.

Of light alloy construction throughout (alloy panels on a double alloy frame with alloy chequer plate floor), an interesting feature of the body is the full utilization of load space obtained by filling the otherwise-wasted gangway between the fixed shelves with removable trays. The Superfreeze door is hung on adjustable hinges, ensuring a constant seal, and incorporates a small loading hatch.

The body is insulated overall with 8 in. polystyrene. A Thermo King PKW 20 refrigeration unit with petrol engine and a waterproof electric motor maintains temperature at —20'F in an ambient of 95*F.
