SUMMARY
Ex-Fire Service, first generation, left-hand drive, twin-wheel panel van in need of a new career.
DESCRIPTION
- The Ford Transit was a revolution in light commercial design and one of the best selling commercial vehicles in history
- With its high load capacity, enabled by its wide track, gutsy V4 engine and excellent handling, it became a favourite of tradesmen
- This left-hand drive ex-Fire Service Transit Mk1 is a long-wheelbase, twin-wheel panel van finished in Ford Light Blue
- In very good condition, having seen very little use and having been off the road for many years
- With its twin-wheel, heavy-duty chassis, it would make an excellent period towing and support vehicle for historic motorsport campaigns
- The van is running well, but we understand that the brakes will require some attention and general recommissioning following a period of storage
