Description

444 The Retreat are delighted to offer this well presented 1980’s Ford Transit MkII. This clean van spent most of its life in Malta and has been recommissioned by it present owner.

The Mark 2 Ford Transit van, produced from 1978 to 1986, was the successor to the iconic Mark 1. It was known for its durability, practicality, and versatility, becoming a popular choice for both commercial and personal use.

Key Features of the Mark 2 Transit Van:

Design Updates: The Mark 2 had a more modern and squared-off front compared to the rounded design of the Mark 1. It featured a new grille, headlights, and a larger windscreen for better visibility.

Engine Options: The Mark 2 offered a wider range of engine options, including petrol and diesel variants. The petrol models often came with 1. 6L or 2. 0L engines, while the diesel variants had 2. 4L engines, making them ideal for carrying heavier loads.

Improved Suspension: It featured better suspension than the Mark 1, making it more comfortable for long-distance travel and heavy-duty usage.

Versatility: Like the Mark 1, the Mark 2 was available in several configurations, such as a panel van, minibus, camper, and chassis cab. Its adaptability made it a favorite among tradespeople and small business owners.

Commercial Success: The Mark 2 was highly popular across Europe and other parts of the world. It maintained the reputation of the Transit as a reliable workhorse, suitable for a wide range of applications.

Collectability

Today, the Mark 2 Transit is considered a classic van, cherished by enthusiasts, especially those who enjoy restoring and customizing vintage vehicles. Its practical design and cultural significance in the history of commercial vehicles make it a sought-after model in the collector’s market.
