[1] In January 1986, the Fargo received a facelift, with changes to the headlights (now somewhat wider and with a more trapezoidal shape) and the instrument panel.
In September 1987, the naturally aspirated diesel wagons were discontinued, leaving only turbodiesels for these noncommercial versions.
Between 1983 and 1988, Industries Mécaniques Maghrébines (IMM) produced the Isuzu Midi at its Kairouan, Tunisia, manufacturing facility.
Built in Luton, the Midi brought few changes to the Japanese Fargo and replaced the old Bedford CF van.
Talks were held with Freight Rover during 1985 to produce the Sherpa 300 series van under licence; the idea was abandoned by the end of 1986.
The Midi could be ordered with either an old fashioned, column-mounted gear change allowing a third central passenger seat in the front, or with a conventional floor shift, and was available in short and long wheelbases with a choice of standard or high roof lines.
The Midi was also restyled in 1989 and given a new dashboard panel and seating, together with new door trims and front end fascia.
[5] The original release Shuttle was available in short and long wheelbase guises, in combination with either low or high roofs, all available with or without side cargo windows.
[11] The lower-specification LT was not equipped with many of the LS Shuttle's luxury features, including the dual-zone air conditioning.
[12] An AM/FM radio with compact cassette player and a digital clock were standard on the LT, with single zone air conditioning available as an option.
[17] A facelifted model came in June 1986, involving the relocation of badging, re shaped headlamps, and newly designed steel wheels for the base Shuttle.
[19] From December 1987, a four speed automatic transmission option was made available, and the LT people mover variant was removed—transforming the Shuttle into a single model range.
