Would be nice to have one of those Transits with the 3-litre Essex engine. Ah, rather not, because I can still remember the cars horrible suspension, the awful steering and the lackluster brakes.

If you recall, the Mk.Is were normally fitted with the V4 2-litre from the bigger Corsairs, which was a very short unit - but not really powerful enough for 3,5t Transits - as I know only too well. (BTW I keep mentioning that UK ambulances with the Diesel front are probably V6s, but nobody takes any notice; they still post them as Diesels.)
