History
Based on British Leyland's 1970s Sherpa (which in turn owed much to the preceding Morris JU and J2 vans), the core vehicle went through a series of developments, notably becoming the Freight Rover 200 series, then the Leyland DAF 200 series, before finally becoming the Pilot after LDV was formed in 1993. It was originally designed to be built on car production lines which led to it having a narrow track. This feature was made into a virtue in later publicity by stressing its ability in narrow city streets. The British Leyland Motor Corporation (often abbreviated to simply BL), was a Britain in 1968. ...

Sherpa 1974-82 Originally developed by British Leyland the model was launched in 1974 under the nameplate Leyland Van. A year later the name of the model was changed to the Leyland Sherpa. The Sherpa would then be branded by Morris and later Freight Rover. The British Leyland Motor Corporation (often abbreviated to simply BL), was a Britain in 1968. ...

LDV Limited was formed in 1993 following a management buy-out of DAF NVs Leyland DAF van manufacturing division in Birmingham, England, following the bankruptcy of the Dutch company. ...
The initial Sherpa line-up consisted of vans in 185, 215 and 240 versions (where 185 denotes a GVW of 1.85 tons, and so on); pick-ups in 215 and 240 versions; a 240 crewbus and minibus; and various chassis-cab options in 220 and 250 versions. Payloads were quoted as 13/14cwt for the 185; 18/19cwt for the 215 and 220; and 22/23cwt for the 240 and 250. Loadspace, at 190 cu ft, was considerably higher than that of the J4 and only just short of the 250JU's.
In 1978 the 1.7- and 2.0-litre O-series engines replaced the original 1622cc and 1798cc B-series petrol units, while the 1798cc B-series diesel stayed put. The range was redesignated accordingly:- vans: 200, 230 and 250; pick-ups: 230 and 250; minibus and crewbus: 250 only; chassis-cab: 255 only. A few months later, the Sherpa was rebadged as a Morris. In 1981, BL created the Freight Rover division as part of the Land Rover group, so the Sherpa's badges were changed again.

Sherpa K2 Series 1982-84 The short-lived K2 Sherpa had a neater appearance and much improved side-access to the load bay. The Sherpa van could now be bought in 200, 230, 250 and 280 versions. The crewbus and minibus continued in 250 form. Loadspace remained at 190 cu ft, but a new "Hi Capacity" walk-thru body was also offered, built on either the 255 or 280 chassis-cab, and offering 330 cu ft of loadspace. An optional Luton body took loadspace up to 460 cu ft, again with a choice of basic chassis-cab GVWs.
The original, integral pick-up had now been dropped in favour of a drop-side pick-up built on the Sherpa chassis-cab. The 255 and 280 chassis-cabs were also available on their own, ready to receive bespoke bodywork. Engine availability continued unaltered, with 1.7 and 2.0-litre O-series petrol units, the 1.8-litre B-series diesel and the option of a Landi-Hartog LPG conversion, first introduced at the launch of Freight Rover the year before. A 4WD Sherpa van was also now offered. LDV Limited was formed in 1993 following a management buy-out of DAF NVs Leyland DAF van manufacturing division in Birmingham, England, following the bankruptcy of the Dutch company. ...
Freight Rover 200 Series 1984-89 With the next facelift, the Sherpa (now known as the Freight Rover 200 series) gained square headlamps, new bumpers and repositioned indicators. Alongside the original bodystyle there was new wide-bodied variant (Freight Rover 300 series). The 200 series was initially available with a 2-tonne GVW. The capacity for the 200 series remained at 190 cu ft. This Police van shows the capability of the vehicle to be adapted to different requirements The LDV Convoy is a panel van that was manufactured by LDV Limited between 1997 and 2006. ...
A Luton-style body was offered, built on the 255 chassis-cab, providing a capacity of 400 cu ft, and a maximum payload of almost 2 tonnes. The chassis-cab also formed the basis for drop-side pick-ups, in 255, 280 and 285 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 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. Bedford was the first to use the Griffin logo Bedford Six WLG 2. ...
While the K2 Sherpa's engines 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 sale of Freight Rover the following year, the Austin Rover Group ceased to be a player in this sector of the light commercial market.
