The Thames van was built between 1959 and 1965. Designed in 10/12 or 15 cwt and as a panel van, chassis cab with flat bed, box or to customers design. The 400E club helps owners to source parts and buy reconditioned items on return of old, there is also a newsletter and information about some rallies providing opportunities for owners to meet up. 400E's were built in Dagenham and were Fords pre Transit small commercial.
