CHRIS SPOONER MK1 TRANSIT SERVICE BARGE
LIKE YOUR VAN!
Spec: ex-German fire service, Ford Motorsport livery, 3-litre Essex
When Chris finished his superbex-German Fire Service Mk1 with 6000 miles on the clock, Chris set about converting it, removing the Cologne V4 and slotting a 3-litre Essex V6 in its place. “I’ve copied the service vans from old photos,” reveals Chris, “but there are some things I’ve changed – I’ve fitted the interior out as a day van so it’s more usable. The Boreham vans were boarded out with plywood with a load of tools chucked in the back, and what’s the use of that? Today is the van’s first big run out and it cruises brilliantly.”
