1971 Ford Transit Supervan V8 (1)
The PPC Drift-tastic V8 Transit
It’s Easter 1971 and representatives from Ford are at Brands Hatch race circuit to launch their new racecar. However, this time around it’s not a car. It’s a van.
A Transit Van to be exact. Built by Terry Drury Racing and dubbed the Supervan, the former load lugger was powered by a 400BHP 5.0-litre V8 similar to the ones Ford used in their GT40 Le Mans racers.
The Transit entered motoring folklore, spawning two spin-offs, and now we at PPC have decided we can do an equally good job.
Having decided an original Mk-1 Transit would be the only way to go the search for the right van commenced.
