1974 Ford Transit Pickup
High points
- Extremely unusual American-style rear pick-up bodywork
- Offered in good running and driving condition, perfect for gradual restoration
- Before the seller bought it about two months ago, the tyres were replaced, the brake system and distribution system were overhauled and routine checks were carried out
The Attractions
Suitable for numerous commercial applications, the long-lived Ford Transit has become one of the most successful vans of all time with over 8.4 million sold.
This Mk1 diesel example is rather unusual in that it features an American pick-up-style rear body. Left in a shed for over ten years and recently found by a classic car hunter, it has been thoroughly serviced so that it can be started and driven. Offered as a perfect candidate for restoration, this rare Transit is sure to attract attention and has great potential as an advertising vehicle for a business.
