I'd say you might even get bigger in, but the 300td would be nice.
Hard to beat the 5 cylinder ......
True, had a vw transporter recovery truck we use to borrow years ago, that had a 5 cylinder diesel. Sounded lovely.

Transporter or LT ?
Have been looking for a half decent Bedford RL to buy for years. Preferably on dual wheels at the rear.
Just wondered if anyone on here knows of one or a yard where one might be?
Would also settle for an old GMC or Canadian ford of similar era.
My first truck was an Austin FG with a 6 cylinder petrol engine in it. It was well before the days of LPG conversions though. That old truck would pass pretty much anything, 'cept a filling station!No No! Have the Petrol 6 cyl engine and convert to LPG. It could go into London then . My Uncle had a Petrol FG on a green grocery round. I was driving towards the end of its days and one day Uncle got me to drive. So of we went I quietly confident, 1st to second gear CRUNCH. Stop slightly embarrassed. Set off again change-CRUNCH. Stop again look at dear old Uncle who is grinning away. ''You will have to learn to drive properly boy''! The Ford D series I had driven was a doddle by comparison.

I didn’t but nor did anyone else. If I could have got to view it I may have. Been stood up for 25 yrs I think so daren’t buy unseen!!You didn’t have a bid on the RL on eBay @Mounty?
Flat front version? They did sound nice.Must have been an lt. old non turbo.

I owned a later LT (The Sprinter in a non convincing disguise version) with the VW 5 cyl non turbo....it was rubbish, didn't sound any good, and really really couldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding!
