Yep.. Made in Warwick QLD by a company who builds these things purposely for Funeral companies to transport deceased bodies in. Interesting concept, but whenever i see one i usually cringe coz i know whats in the back of it!

Its got that "EX Ambo" look to it, but not a bad start. MK 3 might be right.

Thats the same as the Holden "Panelvan" which was similar just a ute with basically a huge canopy like the trucks with a windbreaker etc

There was a silver FG version of that, if not that then something veeeerrrry similar, getting round these parts a couple of weeks ago but every time I saw it I was in the truck going the other way or I would have got a few pics. At a glance it looked like it had solid sides.ie., not a separate cab and tray. It was plain silver with no graphics to break up the lines and I didn't see any seams between front, back and cab roof.

I think the reason he's selling it is because he too knows that it's hideous. What an ugly looking car. I supppose they went for the blue colour as well to distinguish them from another hearse, but in black it might have looked a little better.

I quite like it, it doesnt scream aftermarket to me, bit too Blue for me, but I quite like the shape and the fact that it aint just a canopy.

I don't mind it at all although the tailgate looks a bit awkward around the tail lights.
But those wheels are god awful

Love the idea of it but not quiet done how I would have expected...
Not a fan of the wheels and why not keep the tail gate as was with a top tail, not 1 piece like that.
