The final Ford Capris were all built in late '86 (D) yet we see them registered up until '89 (G) so your van checks out fine.
Had two Escort vans, both great, very reliable and very easy to maintain.
Mate has just sold his Escort Van, either a 51 or a 52, with a 500l custom setup and been very good for the last 3 years although his non-turbo version was a little slow when loaded.
Some of the quoted payload figures don't include the driver, some do, check which is which.
TD version has a lower payload rating than the Naturally Aspirated due to the weight of the turbo and other bit's an pieces.
TD good for 75bhp in low blow but fit an intercooler and up the fuel and you can tweak to 90bhp without any hassles or 100 if you're careful.
Tend to go rather well then
