We list it as MkII German Wiki list them even as MkIII. -- Last edit: 2020-08-17 12:00:07 |

Odd. Is the back door a special for the type with windows? -- Last edit: 2020-08-17 12:16:30 |

I think they were also fitted as an option on panel vans but very rarely, a lift-up tail-gate type door. What advantage they had over two hinged rear doors I don't know. -- Last edit: 2020-08-17 14:44:42 |

Correct!![[Image: transittailgate.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/transittailgate.jpg) 1984 brochure custom options - van with no-cost option tailgate. "for added weather protection when loading". I guess you could back up to an entrance or loading dock and stay dry when loading. -- Last edit: 2020-08-17 14:46:07 |

I can see one disadvantage. Many years ago when one of my cousins got wed in the North of Scotland, we hired a lwb Transit minibus with twin rear doors for a family group. Any items being put behind the back seats made shutting the doors difficult, as they would drop to the deck as the doors were closed.This type of door would be even worse. Anyone overtaking a Transit bus in the 80s in Scotland would have recognised us by the four teddy bears staring out of the back windows. |
