New (to me) mk2 transit

[Tidy Tom]

Hi all,
I've recently bought this van:

It's a County 4x4 with a 2.5 diesel in it. I've not quite got to grips with it yet!
I'm sure it's not the only thing missing, but the catch on the boot lid isn't there - it's got a hatch-back type door. Does anyone know where I could get one of these from? Are they the same as on other Ford vehicles?
The other thing - it's currently stored 40 miles away from me where it's having some welding done - does anyone know the inside dimensions of the back of one of these? I'm trying to plan what I can fit in it but won't be going over to see it for a few weeks.
Thanks for any help,
Tom.

I have a sneaking feeling that this handle is the same as mk3/4/5 cortina estates also mk1/2 escort estates, may not help much but it was in my memory bank and had to come out

[vannut]

Were they not the same as Mk3 Escort Hatchbacks/estates?

[Luke]

i had a mk2 escort estate and i'm pritty sure they are different mk3 escort and cortina not so sure

Thanks everyone - I'll have to get down the scrappy and see if I can find any old cortinas! At least I know what it's meant to look like now - thanks for putting that picture of your van on Vannut.

You're welcome matey. Best of luck with the search! (It's not my van by the way, it was one that was on ebay!)

It's certainly very similar...
