The record

The P3000 designation marks the Ford V6. The V6 was the smaller of the two engines offered from the start; a Department of the Environment Building Research Establishment 4x4 delivered in 1978 was V6-engined. Allisons gives 101 kW, a 1,500 kg payload, an empty weight of about 2,200 kg and 9.00×16 tyres for the 4x4.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
