Ford Transit Sport Van fits the Custom bill

A SPORT VAN version of the new Ford Transit Custom will be up for grabs next month boasting a 155PS 2.2-litre diesel engine.

This new flagship variant, with dynamic exterior style, follows in the line of Sport Vans that have developed a following among Transit drivers since first being introduced in 2007.

Included is a muscular body kit and colour-coded exterior with body-colour bumpers, side mirrors, door handles and side mouldings, finished off with 18-inch alloy wheels on low profile tyres and signature twin bonnet stripes in a contrasting colour.

The styling also includes partial leather trim combining pewter seat fabric with charcoal black leather bolsters plus technologies like the Ford SYNC voice-activated, in-car connectivity package and a DAB audio system.

And all Sport Vans also feature a short-wheelbase van bodystyle, with a 2.9-tonne gross vehicle weight.

Ford Britain CV marketing chief David Petts said: “The new Ford Transit Custom Sport Van offers customers a stylish vehicle that makes a bold statement and delivers full Transit functionality and capability that our customers have come to expect.”
