  A decent starting point may be using the bank truck from 76015 and modifying it to your liking.I believe you can fit two people in the cab as is.You'd probably only have to redesign the rear section.

  Check out Sumolego's armored car on page 62 of the "What are you building?" thread.

  Looks a lot like the armored car from the #76015 Doc Ock set actually, with some tweaks Im sure (like new wheels tires)  :-)

  The original build as sold definitely doesn't seat two mini-figures.

  Well you probably could get two guys in it, but probably would not look very good.. The problem I'm seeing, with my limited build experience anyway, is that it is mighty hard to make a 6 wide vehicle that can easily fit two figures side by side at least if you want to use car doors.

  My 'MOC' was adding a white 4x6 plate to the back.  It's the set right out of the box.  It doesn't fit two figs in the cab.

  This MOC looks a bit wider & appears to accommodate 2 passengers

  Yeah, but the scale is off, it is more likely technic scale than minifigure scale (plus it is at least 8 studs wide)

  The van in the most recent Arkham is quite nice and adaptable to look more bank like. You're still not going to get two people side by side though.

  Jumper plates can help you stagger minifigs within a 6 wide cab to where arms won't be in the way of each other if you have doors or panels on the sides. There is also the molded 5 wide - 2 seat part that debuted in Adventures ages ago but it limits design by being a giant chunk part.

  Once you get 8 studs wide, the vehicle will be too wide for the standard road plate.

  Mod version of 60043. I like this set it has a nice solid look about it but a prisoner transport doesn't fit into the current build so I converted it into an armoured car.

  (excuse the purple line, phone problems)

  That does look nice! Would not be out of place parked outside brick bank!

  There's a 2017 set #60142 Money Transporter that might be a good starting point. We will just have to wait for official pictures to be released.
