FREIGHT ROVER will be showing the first all-British, factorybuilt crewcab on a Sherpa 350 chassis at this month's Motor Show.
This latest variant extends further Freight Rover's wide-bodied Sherpa range which includes factory built dropside, Luton and psv models.
The 350 Crewcab has space for six adults and has been developed specifically for local authorities, building contractors, and public utilities. Freight Rover estimates the current market at around 1,000 crewcabs a year with potential for further growth.
Two versions will be offered: the Crewcab dropside, equipped with a shortened version of the existing factory fitted Ingimex alloy pick-up body, and the chassis Crewcab which is intended for a wide range of specialist bodywork including tipper conversions. A choice of either 3.2m (10.49ft) and 3.6m (11.81ft) wheelbases will be available.
A normal wide-bodied Sherpa 350 cab is used on the conversion which has been extended by 700mm (27.58in) to accommodate the second row of seats.
A full width toolbox is fitted as standard which forms the rear passenger seat squab when closed. A nearside rear door is also included in the conversion.
Crewcab Sherpas will be offered with either the two-litre '0' series petrol engine or the recently introduced 2.5 litre diesel. All models are equipped with a five-speed gearbox and are fitted with twin rear wheels.
Prices for the 350 Crewcab on a 3.2m wheelbase are £8,290 plus vat for the petrol and £9,260 plus vat for the diesel version. 3.6m wheelbase Crewcab petrol and diesel models are priced at £8,428 plus vat and £9,398 plus vat respectively.
