The current Transit’s a great example of a clean sheet redesign of a well established vehicle that’s refreshing, handsome, distinctive and practical, while the recent facelift looks even better still (the one with the LED DRL’s outlining the headlamps - is it a facelift?).
It’s good to know that it can be done
Although, have you experienced Ford Customer Service yet?... 2011 - 2015: 3 x FL2
2015 - 2017: 2 x D4
2017 to date: FFRR SDV8
2023 to date: 2 x FL2 as “second” cars 🙄
2021 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200
2022 to date: Hinckley built ‘14 Triumph Trophy 1200 & sidecar!
(One of only two known to exist in the world!)

It’s security is also the worse I have seen in 20 years.... my inbox is filled daily with more reports of company vans being stolen or stripped of their contents.... whatever ever the design team were thinking it was certainly not security....
Give me a keyless JLR any day ....
