The Ford Escort Panel van was used by all and sundry from electricians to camper and farriers. they were immensly popular in there day. and this is now a very rare car as most have rusted away!

The Escort Vans were much more suited to town work than country.
I had a fleet of them in my area in the early 80's & they were not very popular at all. They did not like the unsurfaced rural roads that predominated & they didn't like much of a load either according to the tech's that drove them.

I had to replace several sets of struts in some of them over the years too. They bent.
The town tech's didn't mind them.

I had one for a few years in the eighties, and remember it very fondly, if it hadnt gotten wrecked in a prang I might still have it, in practicality terms I think it was far superior to the 1200 ute that I replaced it with, and as for leg room and general comfort it left the 1200 ute for dead.

What was the "wagon" in the front used for? It looks funny to my US eyes. Nice collection!
