A pickup truck conversion would look terrible. It looks 100% ace just as it is!!! Great find man.

Don't these have the 2.5DI Transit engine with a Bosch pump? Veg oil friendly if so

It's been a long-term want of mine to have one of these, completely stock apart from airbags. Needs proper domed taxi wheeltrims though, they're only around £30/set on eBay.

That looks stock-tastic...!!!
Do you have any plans for it? If it were mine I'd leeve it looking exactly as it is but maybe pop a little more power under the bonnet to shock the traffic light racers of this world!
What a gem of a motor...

oh yes, leave it as is but on the floor.
Air / hydraulics + chassis notch or whatever is required to get it just sitting like a box on the ground.
Change the rooftop TAXI sign to TAXLO or TAXAIR or TAXHY or something subtle but a clue.

Need to get the Taxi sign working tomorrow :-)
Cheers for all the comments

Anything but a pickup conversion! Slammed with big boost and fuel hike would be spot on in my book

You could do a double decker conversion and paint it red. Or a kei car conversion? But please don't, I love it just the way it is - bodywise.
