LDV – other models: the collective page of vans outside the named ranges, from the Convoy through the Maxus to forerunners from the Leyland DAF era, 2,496 to 3,500 cm³, unladen weights 1,817 to 2,700 kg
This page gathers LDV vans the register could not assign to a named range: the Convoy, the Maxus built from 2004, and forerunners from the time the company traded as Leyland DAF Vans. LDV – Leyland DAF Vans – was formed in 1993 from the commercial-vehicle plant at Washwood Heath near Birmingham, previously trading as Freight Rover and Leyland DAF; independent vehicle production at the plant ended in 2009. The LDV brand name has since been continued by changing importers, today for vehicles from the Chinese SAIC Maxus group. The Convoy traced its roots to the Sherpa van, introduced in 1974 as a successor to the Morris J4, which the works progressively updated under Freight Rover and Leyland DAF ownership before the Convoy name arrived.

The register lists here 11 versions from four- to eight-cylinder engines of 2,496 to 3,500 cm³, unladen weights from 1,817 to 2,700 kg, gross weights from 2,800 to 3,500 kg and widths from 2,000 to 2,300 mm.
For decades LDV occupied the mid-size van class between small vans and trucks, competing directly with the Ford Transit, Mercedes Sprinter and Volkswagen LT, but ultimately could not hold its own permanently against those established brands. Fleet operators and tradesmen valued the range chiefly for its straightforward mechanicals and relatively low purchase cost.
Buying used, check for rust on sliding-door tracks, wheel arches and the load floor, the condition of the turbocharger and injection pump on the diesel engines, and the availability of body parts, which is limited since production ended and often requires specialist dealers.
