LDV Convoy

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The LDV Convoy is a panel van that was manufactured by LDV Limited between 1997 and 2006. The Convoy was a development of the Leyland DAF 400 Series, which in turn was based on the Freight Rover 300 Series. The Convoy and its predecessors were the larger versions of the LDV Pilot (and its predecessors), all of which were based on the Leyland Sherpa series of vans that was first developed in 1974, sharing some components with even earlier models. In 1984 the Sherpa became known as the Freight Rover 200 Series, and gained square black headlamp bezels with round lamps (later replaced by the same rectangular headlamps as on the 300 Series), new black plastic bumpers (replacing the previous chrome with embellishers item), rounder wheel arches, redesigned rear door hinges, door handles, door shape and repositioned indicators (raised from the rear bumper to thehips on all panelled models thereafter). Alongside the original bodystyle there was a new wide-bodied variant the 300 series, available in a choice of three wheelbase lengths.
