• A new range of lightweight alloy bodies for long wheel-base Ford Transit chassis giving a taxation weight of under 30cvvt with up to 478 cu. ft. capacity has been introduced by Coachwork Conversions Ltd,, Stanbridge, near Leighton Buzzard, Beds.
The new box bodies are available in two basic sizes: a 415 cu. ft. model with an interior height of 6ft 3in. and a 478 Cu. ft. model, 7ft 3in. high, both being 10ft-long and 6ft Bin-wide. They are fitted with full-length translucent plastic roofs and full-length roller shutters at the rear.
The 415 cu. ft design fitted to nominally rated 25, 30 and 35cwt Transits, gives a payload allowance of 23-cwt, 28-.cwt and 33cwt respectively. The larger-capacity model for the same chassis provides for payloads of }cwt less.
Recommended retail prices are £325 for the 415 cu. ft. design and £339 for the 478 Cu. ft., unpainted and ex works.
