1998 Transit debonair Info required

I have recently bought a 1998 transit with a Bedford Debonair body fitted , Just wonderd if anyone has any information as to when it was converted to a transit chassis, I have just returned from a trip to Skye & another trip to John o Groats & Thurso at the weekend the van created a lot of interest I had loads of people asking questions as to its history which I was unable to supply.I have some photos of the van & an original one of when it was a Bedford CF,As far as I know it came from the Newcastle area?? If anyone would like photos or can help with information please contact me at trackwalker@btinternet.com thanks in advance
