Transit is a light commercial vehicle series produced since 1953 by Ford Germany and Ford UK and conceived for the European market. The front engine of these vehicles allows for a lower loading bed, which eases the loading process. Anyway, 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 applied to the front bumper and to the engine, which was a 68-horsepower Diesel York 2.5 L. These vehicles have been a commercial success not only in Europe, but still today they are in production for extra European markets.
