Some Maltese MK1s

[malta transit]

These are some photos from my album, dates vary,from recent till the first photo of my very first transit. My first transit was this white perkins diesel engine MK1. I had it just on my 18th birthday and kept it for about 5 years. The problem with it, it was very slow. As i used to live on a hill [as you can see from the picture] i used to start it on gear. On first gear full gas i never saw more than 10mph,2nd gear 20mph,3rd gear 30mph,and 4th gear 40-42mph. The most time when reaching 55mph was on a down hill on free gear. After these years i laugh at my self [ notice old er plates and my dads MK2 cortina fitted with a 1.5 BMC diesel engine].















This van below is the only 1 out of 2 with a face lift MK1 petrol engine i ever saw.

ENJOY.

Yes some are still around. The last picture, the petrol one is sittuated in Msida,in real it looks much worst, just seen it today as its near were my granma used to live.
Here's the other in Gozo, Malta's sister island. Probably it does the Victoria market.
