Nor anywhere else, officially: it's an IMCDb convenience is all, to distinguish between the various versions. This is the earliest, with the integral grille; probably a 30cwt (~1.5 tonne) (long wheelbase, twin rears, higher roof).

Out of curiousity, what year did they update the grille of the Mk 1 Transit? Was it 1971?

Not especially IMCDB; it is a well used naming, same for many other European Ford models

@ antp: so I found out while researching the above, but it's never been official Ford practice, has it?

On some old UK models they may have used it, but on the recent ones like Transit, Escort, Mondeo, Sierra, etc. it is "unofficial" as far as I know.

This is why chassis codes or other internal model designations would be preferable - unamibgious and all...

Since it is RHD, i guess this one was assembled in Southhampton/Great Britain.

"Origin D, built in GB" - are you sure, that this is correct? :??:

Last Sunday I've seen a kind of counterproof: /vehicle.php?id=452138
