Rediculously rare! There was one in the NSVA many years ago, tlaking to the owner at the time (late 80s) he said the contract from Ford to make the integral van was granted to a firm that went bust having only made 250!

Dont ask me for the exact location I havent a clue ,but sometime ago I got lost in the Church Stretton area , I eventually found a guy working on a small holding who gave me directions parked up on the small holding was a delapidated walk through that someone had started a camper conversion out on , there was a row of 3 cottages ajacent to the small holding .

I never knew they had a sperate chassis, thats one strong truck, it must have looked very modern next to the MK1 which was around at the same time, love the website,looking forward to the restoration pictures :D
The are ideal for a recovery truck, and they look good. The picture is just like the MK2 recovery in the Transit book, same colour and stripes :wink: cool

That might be down to the company that photographed the brochures, maybe they were told to put a regular number plate on the vnas but only had a few pairs to cheese from! :lol:
