Details: Photographed at a chilly-looking Archway in January 1987, 3220F was a Ford Transit van used by the Commercial Advertising section from Jamestown Road in Camden. New in September 1984 it was to the revised Mk2 design, with the front indicators given a black plastic surround and the headlights and grille more deeply recessed. The black surround to the windscreen was standard on all Mk2 Transits. This particular van has hinged doors (sliding doors were an option and preferred by several LT departments) and an undated photo taken after it was sold in February 1989 showed that a nearside hinged cargo door (with a higher sill) was also fitted. This was quite a rare feature on short-wheelbase Transits, though it was similar in configuration to that on long-wheelbase vans such as 3000F and 3199F. I was going to add a link to a photo of one of these but then I realised that neither of the photos show the nearside! Hang on, I've found one. The hinged side doors can be seen on these R&I minibuses.
