I've had a fastback and a square back.

The fastback looks much better.

It's a Ford D Series, quite an early one (about a year into production). The Bedford equivalent was the TK, are you confusing it with this?

No, sorry, no idea where TF came from. Am not so good on Ford trucks, but know a TK when I see one.

Can’t agree with you there. The type 3 cars are too tall and thin for fastback styling.  I always felt that my 1600TL looked wrong as if the aspect ratio was off.

The old notchback was a much rarer car here in UK, but always seemed cooler, tougher.

 

In weak moments, I would like another type3. A t34 to be precise.

Everyone knows notches were best and Razoredges were besterer.

I'e always wanted a Razor Edge. I guess I've missed the boat now as they just don't come up very often and the prices have gone north of £20k. There was a dark blue one that turned up at the odd show up in the north east. Not seen it for a few years though.

Just to remind you what winter is like.

Indeed, with Transit similarities in appearance. Familiar door handles, too.

I've never seen that before.

Looks cool, very American looking.

That is the only picture I have seen. Is this a real thing - not some urban myth?

There's a mention on AROnline, so I'd say it was a real prototype. Apparently fitted with ADO17 1800 & 2200 engines

Dews then worked up a pure Transit clone, the CV154: same package, better styling, didn’t look like a “piggy bank”. However, when the investment numbers were added up, they came to £8 million – adjudged too much for a van

Just noticed that the closest car is from South Africa? This is strange wondering what the story is there.
