Well done Col, I can hardly remember this one. Looks as if here, it's parked at the old Adam Street Fire Station outside the Station Officer's office. Covered wash on the left.

The snout indicates that this was probably the SVO version with the 3 litre V6 petrol engine, developed for police, ambulance and fire service duties. Others with the snout had an in line four cylinder Perkins diesel. The V 6 Transit was a genuine 100 mph van. Quite unusual in its day!

There was a Top Gear episode where a very skilled German lady drove one of these around the Nurembergring race track at unbelievable speeds, amazing the three hosts, who reckoned themselves to be quite competent fast drivers.
