I must say, that is a very nice example, very tidy.

Yes it is a diesel. It is a York 2.5 indirect injection ford engine with heater plugs (stage 2 head). The one made a long time ago (around 1980/s) before the direct injection one (DI, no heater plugs). This one has been running before the vid was taken that is why it started turn-key with no yellow pre heat light showing etc.

All those electrical gadgets inside it are probably worth more than the van itself.

Engine looks like an PSA ;-)

[mjouwbuis]

@fiat850super Maybe, but this engine is actually developed by Ford themselves. It took several years more for PSA to have a direct injection Diesel.

Johnbas, we used to have an old Transit v8 Police Van parked in our garden. Not sure if it ran or not. Ended up scrapping in the end!
