Beloved by bands and bank robbers, the Ford Transit turns 60
Celebrating its 60th anniversary, the Ford Transit remains a timeless icon, beloved by bands, tradespeople, and even bank robbers. Originally designed in 1965 to be spacious, powerful, and practical, the Transit has continued to evolve over the years but remains a staple for small businesses. Despite production moving to Turkey in 2013, Ford emphasizes the Transit's British heritage and the ongoing engineering and design work in the UK. With over 13 million units built, the Ford Transit retains its status as the world's best-selling van, loved for its versatility and reliability.
