Err, Mick the pictured motorhome above is a 250 log engined mark 1 Transit.
Dual wheeled rear axles were higher. Disc front end (still didn't stop it)
But buying it SH I couldn't tell you who did the conversion way back in the 80s'
During the 70s -80s van scene I reckon I saw 3 to 1 ratio of Bedford to Transits.
CF Bedfords of that size were mainly hinged front doors compared to so many Transits with the siding ones.
Bedfords seem like a better van conversion than the Fords.
Commerciallly as a fleet vehicle I reckon the Fords were more popular.
