Details: The new Mk8 Ford Transit finally started appearing in the LUL fleet in early 2015, this example being one of the first. Numbered 7948F, it is a long-wheelbase, extended-length high-roof van, otherwise known as an L4H3, or more commonly a 'Jumbo'. Notable features are the large skirt mouldings (which leave only a small area for the blue of the standard livery) and the bodysides which are much more vertical than on previous Transit models. The result is that the top of the body is almost the same width as the waist, most noticeable from the rear aspect. Other features visible are a large rear step, 270 degree hinges (fold-back) on the back doors, and a body pressing outline in the position where the cargo door runner would be. Seen at Acton Works on 25th June 2015. |
