Ford Cargo ~ Carrying the Cargo

No Roadtrains CG, I would not touch a Leyland after the constructor came out. Can’t explain it, I just did not like the look of them.

Is it just me or is that a Mk5 Transit (Smiley face) grill plonked in the middle of it?

Looks like a right cut and shut :laughing:

They almost look like Transit headlights too, minus the indicators.

The Transit of Mk5 vintage was known as the “Smiley Face” due to the shape of that grille, still well known in the circles as that

Just took one look at that grille and it looked just like the Transit one!
