A new cost-effective, front entrance minibus replacement for the discontinued LDV Convoy vehicle has been formally launched by GM Coachwork.
The Ford Transit Falcon from the Devon-based specialist vehicle converting firm is designed for PSV operators.
It is a conversion of the Ford Transit LWB and features 16 OEM passenger seats with padded head restraints and armrests, and a three-step front entrance with a high grip, durable floor and high visibility handrails. A powered entrance door is also available as an optional extra.
The Falcon is offered in a variety of options, with both new and used vehicles available. Used vehicles are priced from £25,995, and GM Coachwork says it is the only manufacturer to offer a conversion-only service with prices from £4,995.
Speaking about the new product, David Vooght, GM Coachwork’s CEO, says: “We see scope for considerable numbers, because a front entrance is often key to the contract market.”
