Wow, are they supposed to be the same size?

Wow, are they supposed to be the same size?

Yes. For me the height difference wasn't apparent until viewed from the back. I wonder which one is more accurate?

I had seen this thread rather closely before I became a regsitered member, and now I can put my appreciation on record: Nice vans, Jeff and everyone else! Love them all!

Michelin combo is very cool indeed!

This display must be a dust nightmare.

As Ian says the Michelin pairing is top notch.

All our (UK) yesterdays. Nice reminder.

Cool models, Gary!

I should get one of those older white Transit vans. They bring back lots of memories from my days at Ford.

Love the supervans! Mk 1/2 Transits bring back fond memories for me - I was shuttled to the British Embassy School in Bonn each day in the 1980s by a fleet of Ford Employee Transit mini buses.

I'm another fan. Big apeal for little $$$ considering these are budget part-works models.

Ford Transit (1978-83) David Jones Rally Support Van by IXO. I would have prefered the Borham livery seen in the photo below.

I've always enjoyed IXO's LWB Mk I Transit part work van, but I was aware that it was undersized and inaccurate in some of the details. IXO has finally correct the situation. Note the identical licences plate numbers.

Nice selection of Transits!

[JSB33]

No end to cool Transits out there.

[Alfaholic]

They might be the ultimate "white-van man" machines, but being motorsport support vehicles is their rightful home as far as I am concerned.

[Jager]

I like the idea of the plain white van and the possibility of some code 3 customs, not just for rally cars but sportscars too.

I appreciate that Greenlight is to offering a series of current generation Ford Transits. I've had a model of the senior Transit Van and the compact Transit Connect for a while now, but recently I acquired their latest offering which is the Transit Custom, which slots between the other two Transits (and is not sold in the US). I decided to line up all three vans and take some photos.

Been on the fence if i want to invest the funds necessary to secure the Custom, it looks good but its not something that I will probably ever see on the road. Even in non custom form. The color really helps its case.
