Classic vans in Malta

I’ve been trying to think of a nice romantic holiday destination to take my girlfriend to next spring, and having seen these photos sent in by Ashley Lovering, I think I’ve made up my mind! We’re going to Malta!
Check out these amazing vans, it’s like stepping back in time 30 years or so.

And my favourite van of all time – the Morris J4. Does anyone else remember seeing one of these being thrown around Cornish country lanes in the 1981 film Island of Adventure?

The Maltese climate has been kind to the bodywork on this Bedford CA.

This Commer doormobile is in pretty good shape too. I’m told that next year Malta will introduce an MOT – which will immediately result in thousands of old cars and vans heading for the scrapyard. Is this true?
