FORD TRANSIT UK POLICE
Transit is a light commercial vehicles series
produced since 1953 by Ford Germany and Ford UK and conceived for European
market. The front engine of these vehicles allows to have a lower loading bed,
which eases the loading process. The very first Transit was produced in 1965 by
the German and British Ford together, expressly wanted by Henry Ford; this
cooperation gave life to what is Ford Europe today and to the well-known
vehicle MK I. In 1978 it was further reshaped, and the MK II was born. In 1984
an esthetic restyling was made on the front bumper and to the engine, which was
a 68 horsepower Diesel York of 2.5 L. These vehicles have been a commercial
success not only in Europe, as still today they are in production also for
extra European markets. The UK police, for example, used Transit Mk 2 in many
versions. More in details, a lot of them, were specifically modified to better
respond to the different operational needs during the police service duties.
These vehicles were generally used for major traffic accidents and during
public events, such as football matches, concerts, end-of-year parties, etc.
