Product Info
The Sport was the top model in the 2021 Transit Custom range and featured a sport styling kit consisting of a front lower bumper skirt with a unique fog light bezel, a rear bumper skirt, body-coloured side skirts, front and rear wheel arch extensions and Transit-branded side stripes that rise along the centre crease line of the vehicle, adding a dynamic look.
It also featured 17” alloy wheels with a machined bright black finish, black centre line stripes with silver accents and a roof rack that shows this vehicle is designed for work. The van modelled was, unusually, ordered with sliding side doors on both sides, making a walk-through space if needed.
The original Transit was launched in 1965 and was the first project on which Ford of Britain and Ford Europe, based in Germany, really collaborated, having hitherto been run as separate divisions under the same umbrella.
It was an enormous success and paved the way for Ford’s European integration, which started with the sharing of major components such as engines and gearboxes and culminated in the range being identical all over Europe by the mid-1980s.
The word ‘Transit’ has since become an eponym for this kind of van worldwide, and the range has become ever more diverse. The midsize Transit Custom range has been a popular addition to the Transit family and has become the market leader in the UK one-tonne van market.
