Transit Fans

MagpieRacer · Jul 12, 2005

Last week i was given a tour of the Ford Transit factory in southampton, the only one in europe i beleive.

at the end we got some cool inside info.

Every quarter (3-4months) the Van gets a minor change, could be anything from a Cd player to a new look sill. But in January/February of 2006, the van will receive a new facelift, the view from the side and back will remain the same but the front will receive a bigger grille, bigger lights and some other big changes..

so there you go Transit Fans!

Ford's sold over 5million of them over the years - they must be doing something right.

The Supervan 3 and the WRC were at Goodwood, as was the Transit that lapped the Nurburgring on Top Gear.

Thanks for the pictures, den brakke! I've never seen the Supervan 1 or 2. (Yeah, I could've Googled it. Meh)

The Transit van that Sabine Schmidtz drove on the ring on Top Gear was not the Supervan 3. It was a regular production, diesel van. But damn, it lapped the ring in just slightly over 10 minutes. That is still really fast.

TheCracker · Jul 15, 2005

it aint a van - the transit is, its like saying a mini pwns a robin reliant

TheCracker · Jul 15, 2005

The F1 Espace, good as it is, is nothing more than a Supervan rip-off - Ford have been doing it since the 70's.

yeah and for absolutely no reason!! its not as if there is many (if any) races to enter! :dunce:

although i have to say it shows the type of conversions that is possible and can be very interesting sometimes 👍

Y'know, the Mercedes Sprinter looks better...

(In my opinion)

Jondot · Jul 20, 2005

I have to agree with ultrabeat - theey do look better than the new transits anyways.

TheCracker · Jul 21, 2005

People don't buy Transits or Sprinters for their looks though do they?

Danny · Jul 21, 2005

But why take leave of all your senses at once?

ExigeEvan · Jul 21, 2005

New Renault Trafic is much better 👍

High-Test · Jul 21, 2005

Guys, seriously. The A-team van pwns everything in this thread.

I think the supervan I is pretty cool!

The Dodge-Chrysler devloped Sprinter?

The Dodge-Chrysler devloped Sprinter?

Yeah same one. It's a Dodge/Freightliner in America and a Mercedes Benz in Europe. All are under DaimlerChrysler anyways.
