Would imagine this unit was fairly new.■■■■■■■ V8 !! I wonder how long it lasted getting punched up and down day and night ? not long I guess as they couldn’t stand up to every man and his dog thrashing them ! SoM probably had to show willing to Ford’s as they were large customers but privately they could not have been very happy with the D1000’s reliability ! Cheers Dennis.
Interesting point.
My experience of Ford (or FoMoCo as it was known then) was after sales service was always excellent over many years. I can imagine a big user would have received really excellent after sales from Ford. So I doubt SoM suffered financially very much if at all.
