Hi everyone, I have just restored and upgraded this 1968 Ford Transit campervan, it came as a cab & chassis from Ford UK and went to "Wilsons" in London for the body to be fitted and was imported into New Zealand around 1972.
We have replaced the original radiator with a 3 core crossflow radiator and find the motor runs a lot cooler.
I am interested in any others of this type that are still in exsistance, the Busman had a photo of one on his site in 2002, so I think there could be others about.

Okay madmark, many thanks for your reply, were the ci Landliners made by "Wilsons" of London ?.
One alteration we have done, is to take the luton off and set it back on the cab and done away with the eyebrow, this makes it look it a bit more modern and made it a darn sight easier to repair.
