We love these blasts from the past! This time round we’re taking a look back at vintage Maltese vehicles, including cars, old tallinja buses and trucks. Facebook page Maltese Vehicles posted an awesome throwback video montage of photos of these incredible vintage vehicles. Check out these 8 cool ones!

1. Maltese bus

Ok, a bit larger than your average car, but we couldn't not mention Maltese iconic old bus, or as we call it: tal-linja. The yellow discontinued buses have since become an iconic Maltese symbol.
