MotorTorque Tumbles

Airborn Transit is Ford’s image of the week…   Since its launch in 1965 the Ford Transit has ‘flown’ off the forecourt but as this week’s image shows some people took the flying part more literally. The versatile load carrier has proved an icon of motoring and the name Transit has become synonymous with medium vans. Back in 1985 stunt man Steve Matthews took his Ford Transit a bit further by leaping over 15 cars to raise money for charity. Rumour has it the only modifications were the removal of glass and an ample supply of gaffer tape to the bonnet.
