They are though, well some of them. The Countryman model looked exactly the same as the saloon until you opened the back, at which point a two-piece tailgate revealed itself. Confusingly the Innocenti version (Italian and other European markets) had a one-piece lift-up affair. I'm sure the B-series transplant has been done, but as with the Minor, it's a big chunk of weight to dump over the front wheels. It's significantly bigger and heavier than the A-series they came with. I've had mad ideas of using a 2.0 Pinto or 2.3 Volvo 740, but really, a 1.6 or 1.8 MX5 engine and box would be a long way more than adequate, and somewhat lighter.

Cavcraft Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 5087 MILES ONLY PEUGEOT BOXER Electric van, spares or repairs Camper conversion | eBay Basically. it's an electric van, but the battery pack has gone. He bought a Jaguar I-pace battery (and some other bits) but helpfully sold the Jag battery. To try and compensate* for this, all the electrical drive gear will be removed prior to sale. TL:DR? It's a £1,250 van for £3,950 and if you do convert it back to diesel you're essentially faced with a ticking time bomb 2.2HDi or a spazzy 2.3 Iv*co engine.

I like them for being way over the top! The styling seems to be very American inspired so may be Ford decided to make use of the spare under-bonnet space for the spare and free up some boot room. I don't know if Ford ever had plans to fit a V8 and whether that was partly responsible for the long bonnet or whether it was solely inspired by style*. goosey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My second A40 had a mildly tuned 1275 A-series and that was plenty powerful enough for the car - unless you're going to start upgrading wheels, brakes and suspension I wouldn't have wanted much more than the ~70bhp that was putting out.
