is this retro-ish this is my work van, a 2006 suzuki carry pick up its not the newest work van you will ever see but it does the job spot on for milk delivery 1.3 petrol engine, she will happily cruise at 25mph in 5th gear! I have driven many vans in my time but this one just brightens up your day, I seem to be laughing my head off all the time when I am in it it has character, like when the speedo max says 100 MPH, and the fact it has a tow bar its recently had new tyres, and new sills hope you like it!  |

Not sure it passes as retro but certain it passes as a retro rides kinda motor.
Very cool, I love it. I'm sure other opinions will be along shortly. Lol.
Can't wait to see more of it, I love these little trucks, I really want a 4x4 version.

Is it retro? Dunno.
Is it any good? Dunno.
Will it be interesting to anyone? Dunno.
Do I want to buy one for my imaginary lottery garage? Yep!
Am I resisting the urge to make a Readers Rides comment about a milk van? You Readers can bet your Wives I am!

Love these, good ones are hard to find now (van type anyway) due to rust. I used to spend a lot of time in one and even took it down to Milan for the Italian Grand Prix in 2009 (I had to drop something off in France). Tried to crack that 100mph V-Max on the Autobahn but only got to an indicated 95. There is a photo somewhere. Young and foolish, it felt like it was going to take off!
I'd have another, they're so handy.

I am not sure if the van version has adjustable seats but this doesnt, no forward/back or back angle. if you cant fit, you cant fit! its spot on for doing my 200+ drops per shift, but it would be hell to drive for any distance longer than 5 miles its quick off the mark due to its low gearing, whether its fully loaded or empty heres another pic  |

Mmm, fresh un-messed-about milk.
There's times when I'd kill for a cold pint of that.
Just down the road from my old stamping ground too, Bollington.
I'd say stick me on your delivery list, but at 25mph, it'd have probably gone off by the time you got here!
