The LDV Pilot was the final model in a series of panel vans produced from 1974 to 2005, originally launched as the 1974 Leyland Sherpa, which was developed by the Austin-Morris division of British Leyland and in turn derived from earlier light commercial vehicles produced by the British Motor Corporation.
