Unlike most other vehicle makers the Thames van did not have these recessed panels. Actually the Thames name was dropped in favour of Ford before the Transit van was introduced, in 1965. So some were actually sold as 'Ford'. However the version in the movie is definitely a Thames. -- Last edit: 2006-05-20 19:40:54
