A promotional idea from Ford UK and built by Terry Drury - take one Transit van, flare the wheelarches & fit wide racing wheels & tyres. Remove the engine from under the bonnet & install a GT40 V8 - but not under the bonnet - no put it in the load area amidships - doesn't do much for the carrying capacity :)

The model is by Spark - there were also Supervans 2 & 3, both of which will be released as well.

The "SUPERVAN" plate on the front bumper seems quite fitting for this van Steve!

Cheers Bugzy - one thing I forgot to mention about the Transit, Spark have also modelled the engine in the load area - it is really a superb model, great subject, well executed.

Lovely model, is it an original casting or a customized Corgi casting?

Thanks - it is a Spark resin casting - nothing to do with Corgi.
