Quicksilver, as well as the pepsi wagon, were done by A&L autos in Romford Essex.
I worked there at the time.
We also did one for a competition for smith's crisps. a full custom Mk1 transit, and the comp was won by 2 old ladies.
The custom van sat ouside their house for years.
At the time, I was working on my own van, a LWB CF, with a pickup cab roof at the front, when Steve Stringer came by to buy some metalflake paint, as we were the european suppliers, and he saw my van, and went back to bedfordshire and did raspberry shiek to the same design of my bedford CF.

Dave curtis was a furniture maker/trimmer by trade, and he did a new transit custom with corderoy interior, and called it "Cord Blimey"
He drove it everywhere on trade plates.
