Driving to Malta

I've just got the opportunity to drive a van to Malta and deliver it to the guy who just bought it. I'm getting a nice bung in my pocket for the job. Trouble is I don't know the best way to get there. The best I've come up with is driving to sicily and getting a ferry to Malta from there. Pozzallo (Sicily) to Valletta (Malta). Does anyone have a better route that I could try. I've looked at getting a ferry from Northern Italy (Genoa) but there doesn't seem to be any ferries from there. I'm going on Tuesday so I need to get my act together and get a route planned. Any help anyone?
p.s. It's not a VW but a brand new Vauxhall van that has been modified for the customer.

 

second star to the right and straight on till morning.

bek - it's ok you don't have to thank me.

 

Wouldn't mind riding shotgun on that trip!! Good find that one Bob.

 

a friend, years ago lived there for a few years and when they used to drive there they used to go via Italy not sure where from.
