The new Ford Transit SportVan was debuted today at the Commercial Vehicle Show at the NEC in Birmingham. The limited-edition model is modified from the 260, short wheelbase, front-wheel drive, 128bhp (130PS) model and features white bonnet stripes, twin exhausts 18†alloys and coloured bumpers and spoilers.
Ford´s commercial vehicles director Steve Kimber said: “I think this stunning new van will appeal to a part of the British market we´ve not seriously courted before, the single or small operator. Transit SportVan is all about style and individuality. It’s for people who love Transit and want to be a bit different, and there´s plenty of our customers who feel that way!”
Inside the cab are leather seats, aircon, six CD-player with remote steering column-mounted controls, cruise control, power windows, power and heated mirrors as standard. The Transit SportVan was taken for a first drive by Sabine Scmidtz, famous for her televised ´race´ with Jeremy Clarkson around the N?rburgring in a Ford Transit.
