several light commercial manufacturers to display refrigerated conversions at the Birmingham Motor Show, including Seat, Toyota, Volkswagen and Mitsubishi.
The Frostline conversion on the Toyota Hiace costs between £3,400 and £4,500 depending on the refrigeration equipment specified.
The Bristol-based company turns out around six light van conversions per week, with Vauxhall Rascals in big demand this year.
GRP Massey carried out a conversion on the Seat Terra and the VW Caddy. The Terra conversion (CM 2-8 August) costs £2,405 (ex-VAT). The Cool, as the VW conversion is called, is based on the Caddy van — itself a conversion of the pickup by Windfoil. Prices start at around £2,250 for the Cool conversion', which uses GRP Massey's new alternatordriven chiller unit.
The "Dairy Vaile" Mitsubishi L300 is based on a chassis-cab rather than a van body, built especially for multi-drop urban deliveries. Vertical sliding curtains at the sides and rear allow easy access to the load bed, and the cab roof moulding offers storage space. The insulated body can be fitted with refrigeration equipment. The price for the complete Dairy Valle package is £3,687.50 (ex-VAT).
