Heh, the new model for your transit mod?

From the closeness of the bodywork to the wheels, doesn't seem to have
much articulation, if any, I hope the tyres aren't pumped up hard!

Excellent pictures. I have printed off copies to send to my local LibDem
Councillor. That should spoil her day

Heh, presumably its about exerting a low pressure on the ground rather
than actual off-road ability.

They'll need it to deal with stuff like this:

What *is* that? The bodywork I mean, not whatever is underpinning it.
It looks identical to a late Tranny apart from the nose treatment!

It's a Gazele, and it's not a Transit:

quite so.  Actually, if I could find somewhere to buy 'em I'd be tempted,
they do a 4x4 version and they do one with a 150bhp daimlerchrysler petrol
engine among other variants.

GAZ have apparently bought LDV, too.

I know a Gazele dealer.... in the Czech Republic, but he's a good chap.
I'll get you a load of info when I'm there in a couple of months. The
Gazele crew cab is massive inside, and the 4x4 works bloody well. All
LHD though.

It *is* a flagrant copy of a Tranny from the A post backwards, though,
innit?

In the flesh it looks more like a Sprinter than anything.

that's the lights, I reckon.  The body is certainly smiley-face transit,
even the window cutouts are the same.  Dunno about mechanically.

Didn't Iveco turn out something very similar in a deal with Ford
makers me wonder if this is an offspring of the globalisation marriage,

I think the Iveco Daily was derived from a Fiat.

BTW, I'm after a set of wheels from a daily.  Twin-wheel type, need 7
altogether.  the 16" 6-stud ones with 170mm hole pitch are the ones of
interest; as fitted to the Daily 35.nnn range, among others.  There are
larger 6-stud ones but they have the wrong hole pitch.  I think they're
something around a 5½J16 size, although they may not be J - something must
tell whether they're taper fit or flat nuts.

They're (hopefully - need to check if the insurance will play ball) to go on
the LDV which is on 14" wheels - 16" tyres are more common now -
increasingly few vans are still on 14" - also a larger diameter wheel will
roll better on rough surfaces, which is something where the LDV is not that
good.

I'd hate to be a patient in the back of that thing on those dunes!
