Welcome to the forum Auto Sleepers only ever used RWD Transits.; If you are looking at late 2007 then it will be a Mk7. Ensure its a manual gearbox.
Granted ours is an early 2008 coachbuilt on a Mk 7, the only thing Ford wise you may consider an extra is the Cruise Control, things like the 6 speed gearbox were standard on the Mk7 RWD Trannys, what I would say though if the Duetto ( a PVC) performs like our Windsor you will not be disappointed in its performance and comfort compared with the Peugeots

Hi Roger
That is interesting because I am going to look at one tonight that is advertised as front wheel drive

To make sure its a genuine Auto-sleeper look for the AS job/build number on a label in the glovebox. We have seen several copies made on Fiat/Citroens but not on Transits.
