One Bridge, 60 Ford Transit Vans…

To celebrate the centenary of Ford in Britain, the company is releasing a series of photos from its archives – one each week.

This week it is the turn of the Ford Transit. Back in 2005, Ford was celebrating a twin landmark for this van as it celebrated its 40th birthday and the five millionth Transit van rolled off the production line in Southampton.

To mark the occasion, the Transit Van Club teamed up with Ford to organise a convoy of 60 vans across the QE2 bridge:

In 2005, 60 Transit vans drove in convoy over the QE2 bridge to mark the Transit's 40th birthday.

Today, the Ford Transit has been in continuous production in Britain for 46 years. It is undoubtedly one of the most successful vans ever conceived and thoroughly deserves its reputation. I’ve owned two and would not hesitate to buy a third.
