@jules22 - In short it's absolutely not a simple model to scratch model, without accurate plan prints (to scale) to work from, and modeling a van with these complex compound curves is definitely a major project.
Not something I would take on, way beyond my modeling ability.
Without knowing what brand/model that van is, we don't really have a starting point for a pre-made free/paid model mesh. We're also talking about finding a finished model mesh to start with, as well as full on left/right side, back and front views, shot perfectly in tangent to pull the logos and advertising art from. If that's not happening, then re-creating them from scratch will be a hit and miss affair depending on the person art talent in GIMP or Photoshop. May have to dish out some cash for fonts as well, if a close enough match can't be found on the internet.
EDIT: I found some other Mr Whippy pics, and determined that the van is a Morris Minor, but no idea what model it is. The only MM van mesh I could find is on 3dmodels.org, is way over detailed for a scenery asset, for Trainz, and costs 95 USD.
There is one van on Sketchfab that is a close match, but is textured in a old, beat-up rusty exterior. It's 15 bucks.

Again, the van would need to be retextured, and would need the straight on elevation shots to be able to make the texture map.
There is a possibility, if you don't care about the van brand, > One of the many Berliet or Fourgon French vans on the DLS (same era, similar design) could be reskinned.
