Hi
Does anyone know what this model Mk1 Transit was called ? Also any information or pictures anyone may have would help me as I wish to convert a model Dinky diecast toy van and as the van is currently a standard long wheel base van I need to build this body type on it so any pictures/plans would help me construct this from plastic and.
Cheers guys

These two are/were owned by members of this forum, but I don't know if they still are, or whether they still own the vans

I think they were popularly called 'Bread Vans'
