Mk 6 TRANSITS [ MALTA ]

[malta transit]

This van, although still with britsh plates,is here in Malta. What attracted me is the rear 1 door, never seen one on a Mk6.

[malta transit]

This has replaced an old CA bedford and its the first Mk6 i v seen as an icecream van.







Its maker badge.

THATS A COCOZZA VAN

all the way from sunny airdrie that van mate
and the chassis its built on is ex bt

thats a rare spec even for scotland as its serving windows are on both sides,
and its a softy ice cream van, but reckon that van was originaly built for a english customer

and exported that way it wouldnt be any good as a normal ice cream van, no shelfs for ciggies or bread and milk

its a cracking big looking motor reminds me of my mate barrys old van

and the chassis its built on is ex bt

Bt with a 135ps and extended frame

Thort BT's were just std LWB 90's

Thort BT's were just std LWB 90's

reason i say its ex-bt guy is it looks like a 03+ model going by the grill badge
and the drivers seat having the moveble headrest most of there vans were built

on ex bt chassis cabs but could have been a brand new build but pretty expensive unless the original customer supplied the van to cocozza`s for them to build on but the chassis extension is the norm for them. my mates van is a top half conversion on a mk6 lwb
panel van but the one before was built on a ex BT chassis and was extended

[malta transit]

Thanks for the information mates,at first i thought it was a converted ambulance!

[malta transit]

This is the first jumbo i v seen, it has a personalized number plate, and it has replaced a mk3 or mk4 as i have the van with the same number and company.

One of my favorite liveries on any transit pick up truck

[malta transit]

This van has been bought recently by the transport autority inspectors, who use it to stop suspected vehicles and mot them on the spot.



These photos were given to me by a police friend who was the the mind after the police livery, and can see the trails of the stickers.

This transit mk6 is as bought from UK probably from an auction.



and as it is now.



The short wheel base with trail double checkers.







And as it is now.







The medium Mk6 still in GB plates.



And as now;







Sill with out beacons;





And finally the Big Mk6 used as a mobile police station;



with livery;





and added sign POLICE MOBILE STATION on top.

Na mate i know this vans history, Its a 2005 built at cocozza's from new for a guy called Scott Brown who ran it in around the west coast and it ended up working static at Barshaw park in paisley, it then went down south portsmouth i think briefly before a guy called Mario from malta came over, bought it and drove it back to malta. he has since refitted it out inside and fitted continental style fold back serving windows so they open right up.
