Text on Ebay:

Here is a very rare chance to purchase a Ford A-series 4.6 tonne GVW light commercial.

These were designed to fit between the Transit and D-series made by Ford. Available in GVWs from 3.5 to 6.5 tonnes and powered by 4 and 6 cylinder petrol and diesel engines.

Alas they never sold in the quantities that Ford required and the model was quietly killed off after a 6 year production run.

This vehicle would be one of the last as it was registered in late 1982.

It has the V6 2.5 liter petrol engine as used in the Consul/Granada car. 4-speed manual gearbox.


It was new to a Health Authority and carried a demountable office body.

I have just fitted new sparking plugs and adjusted the points and carburettor to get the engine to run as it should.

Having only covered 16750 MILES, it has spent a lot of time with little fuel in it and I think it would be wise for any new owner to clean out the fuel tank before attempting to drive any distance.

One of the exhaust manifolds is cracked and needs MIG welding or replacing.

There is some rust in the drivers side cab step-well, the front grille panel and the nearside front mudguard. But considering its age there is not much metal replacement required at all.

The cab interior can only be described as immaculate with no wear at all to the upholstery.


It is the A0510 from 1982.
So it has the better rust prevention.

Originally it had the 3.0V6 Essex, can't find it in the text.
There was no 2,5V6.

Front axel max 1800kg
Rear axel max. 3400kg
Max. tot. weight 4600 kg
Rear axel ratio 4.88 (std.)
brakes fr. 320x70 rear 320x95

Lyres 650 x 16R "C"
80 liters fuel tank
Wheelbase 3.30 or 3.68 or 3.96 meters
