fightersweep Posted October 18, 2016 Author Share Posted October 18, 2016 (edited) Oh right! Thanks for the info! I had my three on backorder, so maybe they're on their way!

goggsy Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 That's cool, my dad had one of those. It even had the hatch back, which was quite unusual on the transit apparently. I might have to get one and do it with the bonnet in black with "Silver Sheen" sprayed across it in honour of the one he got from a scrappy after the original one rusted.

Rob G Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 It looks wrong with the square headlights. By the time they came in, we didn't get the Transit here any more, so all the ones I've ever seen have had round headlights. I think there's still a couple around, dressed as ice cream vans.

fightersweep Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 That's interesting. So the Transit didn't get past the Mk1 in Australia. What replaced it? Best regards; Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best regards; Steve Japanese. We got Toyota HiAces and Mazda Bongos and all that. And they were a lot more reliable than Transits ever were.

fightersweep Posted October 19, 2016 Author Share Posted October 19, 2016 That makes a lot of sense. I've been lucky, my Transit has been pretty reliable so far...but why have a Transit when you can have a Bongo? Always loved that name!

And underpowered. But not as bad as the little Suzuki (Carry?) 2 strokes we got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
