Lateef ◊ 2012-10-31 12:32	Comes up as a Ford, I think A-Series: The vehicle details for MDP 186P are: Date of Liability 22 08 1985 Date of First Registration 17 05 1976 Year of Manufacture 1976 Cylinder Capacity (cc) Not Available Fuel Type HEAVY OIL Vehicle Colour ORANGE
-- ◊ 2012-10-31 12:38	Vehicle details found: MDP186P ORANGE, 1976 FORD CARGO 1615 TIPPER
stronghold ◊ 2012-10-31 12:48	Was Cargo around in 1976??
-- ◊ 2012-10-31 12:49	No, impossible to be a Ford 'Cargo', most likely a wrong listing.
dsl ◊ 2012-10-31 12:53	We've had comments before that DVLA often use Cargo 1615 as a dustbin name for Ford commercial vehicles, whatever they actually were, so it is suspect without other evidence. My non-expert guess would be D-Series here (I think A-Series as comment above was the big-nosed Transit derivative).
Lateef ◊ 2012-10-31 13:05	Who listed this as a D-Series? It wasn't a sure thing, was it? The beltline and window are much more like that of the A-Series. -- Last edit: 2012-10-31 13:08:00
kudos ◊ 2012-11-06 23:49	Seems generally too small for a D-Series and the rear light don't match. I concur with A-Series.
