Mk3 Transit SVO Codes (special vehicle order) Help.

[Leeday]

Hi, I have a Black Mk3 (F reg) 1989 Transit SWB with tailgate, 2 side loading doors, 2.0 Pinto with 4 speed auto box. In the drivers side footwell is a Ford Special Vehicle Order sticker which states:
Option -- Selection

7512 ------ 1
7515 ------ 1
7517 ------ 2
7527 ------ 1AAP
7529 ------ 4
7639 ------ 3

Does anyone know what these codes represent....1989 is a long time ago I know, but would be really interested to know what they mean.
Thanks in advance,
Lee.

I never seen a list for the SVO specs, but it sounds like a Private ambulance
Infact, probably everything youve listed, I always thought they had 3 speed auto's

7512 ------ 1Left hand battery suport
7515 ------ 1(Possible rear anti roll/stabilizer bar? Have a look!)
7517 ------ 2Twin heavy duty batteries
7527 ------ 1AAP (possible additional fuse panel)
7529 ------ 4 Battery cut off relay
7639 ------ 3 (Not a clue!)

Hi Andyg,
Thanks for that,
The van definately has twin batteries (just replaced both trays), it has Split charge system with Ford labelled relay and wiring, will check for the rear anti roll / stabiliser bar and update later, havent noticed a additional fuse panel (did have all the dash out to sort out the wiring.....loads of accessories fitted and removed over the years by previous owners and wiring all over the place.......back to how it should be now), will look for battery cut off relay (definately handy to know if there is one.....don`t want to look silly and call Mr RAC out for a faulty relay ).

Hi AlanN... I thought it odd at first with the 4 speed auto, as the Haynes manual I happily purchased does not mention 4 speed auto or 3 speed auto with overdrive. It definately is a 4 speed auto (not overdrive) and it all looks original with no modifications been made, even down to the 4 foot tall auto gear select lever will clamber under the van and see if there are any serial / model numbers on the box to see if this sheds any light.

Thanks everyone for the comments, will update new info later...
Lee.

Hi Andyg,
RE: 7515 ------ 1(Possible rear anti roll/stabilizer bar? Have a look!)
I have crawled under van and there is definately no rear anti roll/stabilizer bar and no mounts or indications to suggest one was there and removed....
I will be playing with the van over the weekend and will see if I can find any other "extras" that it might be...
Thanks for the info so far
Lee.
