A real shame. Great vans. Best van I ever had

worst van i ever owned

You could park that in a field and it would do free advertising for you. :smile:
Think the law allows advertising on any moveable object on wheels.
Strange that Ford has always made Transits that rust badly. Just a little bit less rust prone and they would be even more popular. They are one of few vehicles that rust quickly nowadays

The main reasons I wont own a transit is because Ive seen some less than 3yrs old starting to rot away

Strange my old Transit is 14 years old (52 plate) no body rust anywhere and still going strong.

Think it all depends on the owner and luck

A manufacturer cant sell so many vehicles if they are that bad, the transit is a prime example of a good tool
