How about the Mark I: /vehicle_83163-Thames-Trader-1957.html I never thought these passed as light-duty trucks. I always thought they were considered medium-duty. |

1962 Ford Thames Trader MkII (undivided grill - but looks like the Trader name is missing). The range catered for loads from 30cwt (1.5 tons) to 7 tons. Designations were '15' for the lightest (1.5-ton) '20' for two-ton, up to '70' for the Maximum 7 tons. |

The Trader Clearway chassis resembled the Trader forward-control models but had a lower easy-access appearance. It was based on a Thames Trader 1½, 2-ton & 3-ton [640E] normal-control chassis with a special front end built by Garner Motors. Ford's selected bodybuilders were than used for mounting of their own range of various body designs for easy access delivery vans, refrigerated-insulated vans, Luton vans, bakery vans, milk floats and mobile shops. Martin Walter did do a delivery van based on the Trader Clearway chassis but this does not look like one, also no camper versions found so I guess a van converted privatly by the owner.

After March 1965 in conjunction with the renaming of the Thames Trader normal control chassis to Ford K-Series, the Clearway vans were renamed Ford M-Series Clearway vans. |
