1972 Ford Transit Motor Home
Registration no. NIL 4698
Chassis no. BC05MK67571MDX

Footnotes

One of the most successful commercial vehicle designs of all time, the Ford Transit was introduced in 1962, immediately setting the standard for a host of subsequent imitations from rival manufacturers, and continues in production to this day. The Transit resulted from collaboration between Ford in Germany and the UK, and was marketed more like a saloon car, the emphasis being on its almost limitless permutations of body design, seating, engines and trim.

This Transit motor home is a Mk1 short-wheelbase model with single-wheels rear axle, 2.3-litre four-cylinder diesel engine and four-speed gearbox. The Olsen Design body is by CI Autohomes, a division of Caravans International that was once the largest manufacturer of motor homes in Europe. 'NIL 4698' was purchased by the vendor in 1990 and used for family holidays for many years but has been unused for the past seven. During the entire present ownership it has been kept inside except when in use. The Irish registration was obtained so that the vehicle would not be identified as British during frequent holidays to the Republic of Ireland! A total of 55,132 miles is currently displayed on the odometer. Ideal for attending weekend-long historic motoring events such as the Goodwood Revival, this charming Transit motor home is offered with current V5C document and fresh MoT.
