transit luton question...

[FredTransit]

A brand new one would be thousands, but you can get good second hand ones for around £5-600, the fitting itself isn't rocket science (unless they have changed a lot!), you just need the right bolts (prob available still from Ford). Sometimes body mounting points don't match up and one or two have to be altered, again not a huse job.

Engine power wise go for the most powerful you can find as lutons are bricks at the best of times. Nature of the beast I'm aftraid, no such thing as a quick luton even with a fancy deflector on the front or on the cab roof.

I hired one once when the flareside snapped its cambelt. It was so gutless it would not pull over the barton bridge on the m60

Was probably restricted since it was a hire vehicle, but they are still so damned slow, useful size wise for sure but leave plenty of time to get to your destination
