There’s something deliciously audacious about the very idea of a Mk 1 Ford Transit with an F1 engine installed.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And look at the first edition of Ford\u2019s promotional Transit. It looks every bit of the burly 1970s monster that it is.<\/p>\n

We love the fact that it was tuned to within an inch of its life by a bloke called Terry Dury, too. What happened to that noble moniker. You never hear of little baby Terry these days do you?<\/p>\n

Supervan 1 apparently first appeared at the easter meeting at Brands Hatch in 1971 \u2013 and amazingly it came with a GT40 Chassis and a mid engined V8 that pumped out 400BHP.<\/p>\n

We don\u2019t think it was a Cosworth DFV \u2013 but it would have been nice if it were.<\/p>\n

Look at those bolt on flared arches. Look at that slightly tweaked, boxy stance and all-round fat rubber. Apparently t was good for 150 MPH in the top end.<\/p>\n

Imagine the unholy rattle and hum!<\/strong><\/p>\n
