Anybody know the official payload of an '84 F6 van?

Thanks

My brochure calls it a 7cwt van , payload 937lb/425kg inc driver.

Thanks Allan. I've just bought an F6 and it has to work for its living! Last week I put 10 bags of cement in the back (250kg) and it seemed to be fine, but useful to know the official figure.

For any of you out there who are interested - I'm the mug who bought that red van (with daft chrome wheels) in the Highlands about a month ago, unseen on eBay. Well it goes fine - got me back to Hampshire with no problems - but whoever did the cheap respray wants shooting. I guess it will be more of a project than I planned so no doubt there will be a few more questions for you experts...

This thread is useless without pictures ;-)

Only because I didn't see the original ebay auction mind

These are the pics from the eBay ad. Note studded snow tyres and shiny chrome wheels... (Apparently it used to work at Aviemore ski station and the chap I bought it from never got around to changing the tyres.) The van also came pre-loaded with a spare engine, gear box and bonnet hence the reason it looks a bit tail heavy. Anyway one day I'll get around to restoring it properly but not before it's on its knees no doubt.

Now that does look sweet, even though you say the paint jobs not fantastic.
