Giving a US Postal Truck a Second Life with The Coffee Post 1965

In late 2019, brothers John and Paul Blake embarked on setting up a new takeaway coffee business in Dublin. They set their sights on a 1965 Jeep Fleet Van, a former postal van which had been out of service since the 1990s. The van was shipped to Ireland, converted, painted and retrofitted. It has become the iconic 'Coffee Post 1965', seen selling coffee in various parts of Dublin. John and Paul explain how they transported the van across the world and why they set up a business during the pandemic.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
