History
Ancestors - For information on the vehicle history prior to the 1984 Freight Rover 300 Series, see Freight Rover Sherpa.
Freight Rover 300 Series, 1984-89 In 1984 the Sherpa became known as the Freight Rover 200 Series, and gained square headlamps, new bumpers and repositioned indicators. Alongside the original bodystyle there was a new wide-bodied variant – the 300 series, available in a choice of two wheelbase lengths. The twin-wheeled 300 series vans were designated 285 (swb only), 310 and 350. While capacity for the 200 series remained at 190 cu ft, that of the 300 series ranged from 268 cu ft to 402 cu ft, depending on the combination of wheelbase and roof profile (a high-roof was an option for the lwb 310 and 350 models). The LDV Pilot is a panel van that was produced by LDV Limited from 1997 until 2006, and closely based on preceding models dating back to 1974 (which were in turn related to older models). ...
For those who needed yet more space, a Luton-style body was offered, built on either the 255 or 350 chassis-cabs, providing capacities of 400 cu ft (with 200 series cab) or 550 cu ft (300 series), and a maximum payload of almost 2 tonnes. The chassis-cab also formed the basis for a standard- and wide-bodied drop-side pick-up, in 255, 280, 285, 310 and 350 versions, again avaialble with either short- or long-wheelbases. Of course, the chassis-cab could also be ordered on its own, again in a choice of widths and lengths, so that bespoke bodywork could be fitted, with the added option of either single or double cabs. The 200 series continued to be offered as minibus or crewbus, but the 300 series was also offered as a minicoach seating up to 18 people. Bedford was the first to use the Griffin logo Bedford Six WLG 2. ...
While the K2 Sherpa's engined remained available (including the ancient B-series diesel), a 2.5-litre diesel unit was now offered on the 300 series, and following the completion of a special Police contract, the Rover 3.5-litre V8 unit also became available from 1986. However, with the merger of Freight Rover, along with the rest of the Leyland Trucks division of the Rover Group with DAF Trucks the following year, to form the new DAF NV and Leyland DAF companies, the Rover Group ceased to be a player in this sector of the light commercial market.
