So... I recently arranged to buy this M Reg 100PS DRW high cube. It was in Fords fleet until now!
Its a pre production van probably one of the last off the line before the building of customer order Highcubes started. So its also believed to be the oldest one left.
I know for certain that it was used to ferry some materials to exhibitions in Europe, and was also used for testing. Its got a 97MY interior, so was obviously also used as a mule for interior development. There are lots of additions and later parts on it - so it will be interesting to find out what was done too it.
Intent is to bring it up to scratch, and keep it as close to the spec it was when Ford stopped using it in 2006 as possible (with the exception of the load area, fitting 270 degree rear hinges and a tow bar).
A bit of work to do to make it MOT worthy and then its good to go
