Few objects have reached the point of popularity in which they're referred to by their brand-name...You don't want a 'vacuum cleaner' you want a Hoover. You don't want an MP3 player, you want an 'iPod', and you don't want a van...You want a Transit!
The Ford Transit has to be one of the best vehicles ever made. Sure, it's a van. It's sluggish despite having a reasonably big engine, and sure it's heavy, but it has a similar chassis to a car. It has a car's running gear too...Meaning it handles somewhat similar. The high centre of gravity makes it a more fun ride too!
When it was released it was quick compared to most cars! With a top-speed of 90 miles an hour. It was also surprisingly agile, and spacious compared with other vans...It was the perfect vehicle. 'Tis why 95% of armed robberies in the 1970's involved a transit. Not many cars, let alone vans have ever lived up to that legacy!
Not just that, it could make an excellent moving home without being turned into a caravan ;)
