With the Ford Transit reaching its 45th year as Britain’s best selling van, Ford is releasing 100 special edition Transit SportVan models in distinctive red livery.
* Colorado Red paintwork with white bonnet stripes
* 18in graphite colour alloy wheels, twin exhaust pipes and spoilers
* Powered by a 140PS TDCi Duratorq engine
* First medium van with DAB radio as standard
* A limited edition of 100
* On sale end of October at £22,630
The Ford Transit SportVan was first created in 2006 for customers wanting to make a bold statement with their commercial vehicle. All previous models are sold out: Performance Blue with white stripes (500), Sea Grey with silver stripes (80), Panther Black with silver stripes (500), Frozen White with blue stripes (80) and Ink Blue with silver stripes (150).
Ford of Britain’s marketing director, Mark Simpson, said: “We know that ‘white van man’ is image conscious both personally and for his business. The SportVan is a real head-turner as well as a reliable workhorse and that’s why they sell out so fast.”
The Transit SportVan is based on the popular 260, short wheelbase model with front wheel drive, the 140PS 2.2-litre TDCi diesel engine and a six-speed transmission. The red SportVan will be the first medium van to come with DAB radio as standard.
