Following the sell-off of the van business from the insolvent Leyland DAF in 1993, LDV Limited was formed. The newly independent company renamed the 400 van the Convoy, which was powered by the ex-Peugeot 2.3 Diesel engine also used in the diesel version of the Ford Sierra.
The Convoy was available in 2.8 tonne, 3.1 tonne and 3.5 tonne variants with load volume capacities up to 12.9 cubic metres. The van would become hugely popular as a minibus and would come in pick-up and fleet based vans.
The van's key selling point for operators such as the Royal Mail (who had operated large fleets since the original Sherpa version), and local authorities had been its narrower track compared to the Transit, enabling it to negotiate tight alleyways and country lanes. The last Convoy was built in 2006, succeeded by the Maxus.
The lighter 200 van was renamed the Pilot powered by a Peugeot 1900cc Diesel unit. the van received a facelift with less boxy front panels and a redesigned dashboard and seating The van became popular as a minibus, and was available in pick up and fleet based vans, as well as being used by the army as a troop carrier The van was also used by various police forces and the Royal Mail.
Many thanks for a fantabulous
