This is a rare Transit MK3 SVO Brochure about verious special options and body work for the early transit mk3 dated september 87 -
if you want any tecnical info on any of the vans in the brochure the pages are double sided and have all tecnical info on the back so ask me and ill upload the relivant page (diddnt do this to begin with because it is double the work) :)

i remember having to drive one of those TSV transit buses..think the kids on it used to call it the drooly bus..hated it myself as it was always breaking rear wheel bearings due to being so heavy i think its was a 3.9tonne version as well and it had a taillift for wheel chairs so a lot of weight on the back axle..plus it had air assisted rear suspension..
The transit pdv there was about 10 years ago a mobile shop that was simlar to that but only had a small rear door which you walked up inside..Was over near diss on norfolk/suffolk border in a small village hinderclay(and went to redgrave/botesdale/wortham)maybe a few others as well.....bloke sold it and went and bought a ldv version..

This is a fascinating document. Never seen it before. Thank you for sharing it with us. :D

Several forum members have the Mk3 County 4x4, just like the white one in the pictures. Check out the "4x4" section of the forum for more details.

It's a superb and very capable piece of kit. I've modified mine quite a bit, but then most of us have! :D
