Leighton Vans has announced it has received official GB Whole Vehicle Type Approval to fit its LV-RF kit to the latest Ford Transit Custom.

The kit, which features uprated suspension, larger wheels and brakes, and front and rear spoilers, is compatible with the Transit Custom in panel van, crew van, and campervan forms.

Following the approval, and as an official Ford converter, Leighton Vans plans to expand its nationwide dealer network. LV-RF conversions will also be supplied to the Ford dealer network, either as kits or completed vehicles.

Leighton Vans head of parts sales and product development Adam Jackson said: “Securing Ford Type Approval for our LV-RF kit is a huge step forward for Leighton Vans.

“It’s taken two years of hard work, engineering expertise, and global testing to get to this stage. We’ve built our reputation on innovation, quality, and customer trust, and this recognition from Ford, the Vehicle Certification Agency, and [Germany’s] TÜV underlines everything we stand for.

“It means customers can buy an upgraded new Transit Custom with full peace of mind, knowing the product has been thoroughly tested and meets the highest standards of safety and compliance.”
