The 300E 5 and 7cwt vans of 1954 were based on the 100E saloon car range announced a year earlier, but in common with many other Ford vans it carried the Thames monniker. It used the same 1172cc ‘flathead’ engine and MacPherson strut front suspension as the saloon, but had vertically split rear doors unlike the 100E based estate cars Escort and Squire, which had horizontally split rear doors. Production continued until 1961 when the 300E made way for the 105E based 307E van. Estimated release date: June 2008
