EXTERIOR
Finished in original DAF White, (Code N3NC), the bodywork has defied the years and the fate of many that have long since disappeared. The factory panels are in amazing condition and the paint finish is uniform and bright. Some age-related cosmetic markings and small dings are visible but this example outclasses its contemporaries by miles. There is some light distortion to the rear bumper corners. The underside has never seen repair work and is free from excess applied underseal to reveal the remarkable preserved state. All glass, lights and un-perished rubbers are intact the optional electric side step operates perfectly.

INTERIOR
The interior of this bus is exactly as it left the factory and amazingly well presented. 17 seats, all with 3-point seat belts, offer fantastic carrying capacity and safety for children with height adjustable seats belts. The seats are in superb condition and spotlessly clean and no tears, with the vinyl to just three rear seats picked away by naughty back-row kids! All interior trim is intact as is the clean carpeting and fully trimmed headlining which has slight discoloration. All interior equipment operates perfectly including the original LDV stereo and the cab trim and fascia is commensurate with the remarkably low 33,501 miles covered. The factory wheel brace remains clipped behind the cab seats and the fire extinguisher and first aid kit are still present.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The original Ford Duratorq ZSD-424 direct injection turbo-diesel engine displacing 2402cc as fitted to all post 2002 Convoys develops 88bhp and 210Nm of torque (an increase from 74bhp enabled by the factory optional turbo intercooler) and enough to propel a full load of passengers and their luggage up and down Welsh mountain roads (verified). The robust engine operates perfectly and the engine bay is exceptionally clean with factory stickers and labels intact. The study 5-speed manual gearbox feels tight, strong and is effortless to use.

WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
This six-wheel example has the original steel wheels with genuine LDV hubcaps in superb condition. All wheels including the underslung spare wear 185R14C heavy duty LCV/van rated tyres, four of which were fitted brand new in 2021. Servo assisted brakes with discs to front have been overhauled in 2021.

HISTORY FILE
Registered new on the 28th February 2006, this very late Convoy was one of the final production examples before discontinuation of the model in the same year. The supplying LDV dealership was based in Peterborough, the home city of KGF Classic Cars, and where the van has spent the last 18 months as our very own ‘Fun Bus’! Prior keeper from 2007 to 2021 was the Lionel Primary School in Brentwood, which most likely discovered that the LDV Convoy had been rightly nicknamed ‘the king of the primary schools’ and indeed had won What Van Best Minibus in 2000, 2001 and 2002! KGF Classic Cars purchased the bus in 2021 to be used as a fun vehicle for outings with family and friends. At this point, the bus had covered 29,308 miles and to date more than 4,000 miles have been covered with utter reliability and immense delight – the ‘Fun Bus’ has lived up to the nickname we gave it after just our first outing! A total overhaul and major service was carried out upon purchase to ensure optimum safety and dependability and the bus has completed various trips, including several to North Wales, where mountain roads have been traversed without demur.

The correct Class 5 MOT testing has been upheld in order to allow the bus to be used at full 17 seat capacity and the history file consists of the original handbook and service book, two keys.
