Here's some of the family, the top one we've had the longest, she was driven by Richard Hammond in Topgear's Transit 40th Special. She was in her natural accessories then (like the spoiler). I run a =n agency supplying vehicles (specifically from the 70s and 80s) for film and TV

Saw a few early Transits in Portugal earning their keep, mainly Mk2s but the odd Mk1 too. What else do you keep in stock for film work?

There's still loads of classics of all kinds in Portugal, but in public service the Mk1s and Mk2s day's are numbered. The buses are about to be regulated off the road.
We have a few car (6) but ironically the most ordinary, a 240 volvo saloon, has been seen the most. The rest of the cars on the site are privately owned. Feel free to sign up!

Maybe it was an earlier one but I was sure in one episode they had one like that one, maybe missed the accuracy.(?) Heh.

Just saw a Transit armoured Truck on Last of the Summer Wine. Yours?

Actually no, was it a Mk2? I honestly didn't know there were any more left. Was it a Mk3? If so I know whos it is.

May have been either as I don't really know. I should have watched it on my PC and got a still. It was dark blue if that helps.

Laughing I think you will find they made Mk2s and Mk3s in dark blue so sorry it doesn't help! The Mk2 is square, the Mk3 wedge shaped. Very different animals....
