Drivers who want to get noticed will be thrilled to see the new models especially when they are combined with special edition colours. The whole SportVan family will be together for the first time. Fiesta SportVan went on sale late in 2006 and is already proving popular with young business people who want a stylish dual purpose van. The Transit Connect SportVan concept with its smart striped paintwork and leather interior will star alongside the new Transit SportVan, aimed at business operators who love Transit and want something with a serious style statement to it.
Due on sale in Britain later this year, the new double cab Ranger Wildtrak will be on display for the first time. This new addition to the range will be available with a new 3.0-litre, Euro IV, TDCi engine. It will be available in two new, limited edition colours: chilli orange and passion red. Another new addition to Ranger will be the option of a 3.0-litre TDCi engine with automatic transmission on the high specification Thunder models. This again will appear in showrooms across the country later in 2007.

TalkSport radio’s Alan Brazil will be transmitting his sports breakfast show live from the Ford stand on Wednesday 25 April. Visitors to the stand can measure their football skills with the virtual penalty kick game and by playing table football on the stand’s astro turf.
