Yep the 3 speed was a Borg Warner box, also used in the 1970's and 1980's Falcons. Both of my other Aussie vans have been converted to T5 5 speed. Much better!.....
Interesting, I thought Midnight Blue was an Australian Ford colour! Only time I have seen it on a Transit, and only Sundowner I have ever seen with blue stripes
OK you confused me with the 3 speed manual part Of course an autobox of that era would be a (BW35?) 3 speed
I was fairly certain that the colour was Midnight Blue, I used many aerosol cans with (I thought) that name on the lid, for running rust repairs, but it was 50 years ago, so possibly it was something similar
Yep Al midnight was a colour on Ford back in the day We used have a lot of mk 2 Escorts roaming about at midnight with blue jampots on the roof ,never could keep up with me though
