I keep lusting after old Transits. And what a cool way to advertise your buisness. Spotted this at Knebworth classic car show earlier this year.  |

That one belongs to a geezer who lives round the corner from my mum! I see it trundiling about all the time. And don't think it's a summer only trailer queen either - saw it rumbling round town a couple of weeks ago covered in winter grime! I'll try and get some more info on it if you like - my dad knows most of everyone in the "trade" round our way.  |

The owner says that its used as the works van. It is useful for getting his car alarm company noticed.

Old vans rock  I used to love the way Sherpas sounded (a bit like the noise a moggy makes when changing gear) A guy who lived by my folks used to absolutely thrash his post office one around (later style LDV). |

Go on then, I've seen a few modified Escy vans that weren't too bad all things considered.  The only thing with supervan 3 there, is that it wasn't even particularly Transit based, that body is a 7/8th size replica of a Transit in fibreglass as far as I know, rather than a real Transit body on a special chassis, weren't the original Supervans like that, real bodies, spaceframe chassis with enormous engines in? |

Supervan 3 was half early (round transit: rear) and half newer (square transit: front).
