• Hawson-Garner of Andover has introduced a new Luton body to match the modem styling of the Ford Transit chassis cab.
Designs adapt to incorporate either the full cab or with the back panel and roof removed to give a walk-through option.
It uses either robust square section steel tubing or lighter aluminium top hat section framing the aerodynamicallyshaped riveted aluminium body. It has a GRP front dome above the Transit cab and translucent GRP to give natural lighting for the cargo area.
Roller shutters, up-and-over doors and full-width hinged doors are offered. A steel rear frame provides for the installation of a 500kg capacity tail-lift.
For the long wheelbase 190 petrol model interior dimen sions give a head height of 2.18m, width of 1.99m, lens of 3.15m and an unladen weight of 1,520kg when buil from aluminium.
The standard specification uses a 12min marine grade I floor but may be altered to suit individual requirements.
Side panels are either plai or plain and ribbed aluminiur with a GRP front dome. Lat models will be offered with GRP side under valances. D livery is estimated at twothree weeks. Godfrey Davis has bought the prototype.
