We start with 76FT1001 -White, the original body shape from 1965. The Ford Transit Mk1 had the longest production run of any of the Transit vans since and remained so until the first facelift in 1977/78. It was built at Ford’s Langley Plant in Berkshire and then, due to overwhelming demand, in Southampton as well as various European manufacturing bases. In pristine white, our Transit Mk1 is registered GYH 194D from 1966. Black and silver exterior trim, a completely black interior and white wheels shout simplicity but overall production of the Ford Transit Mk1 lasted for 20 years until it was replaced by the second generation all-new VE6 platform in 1986, so it proved anything but simple! 76FT2001 Ford Transit Mk2 - White is the Oxford replica of the restyled Ford Transit MkII which Ford launched in 1977, continuing in production until 1985.Our model is registered C332 OYJ from that last year, which coincided with the Ford Transit reaching an amazing production quantity of 2 million vehicles. Decorated in white with black and silver trim, the interior is black too, apart from white interior door panel inserts. It comes as a two cab door van with a (non) sliding door on the near side and two rear doors. In real life, the Mk 2 came radically restyled and was available in 6 body styles, 5 engine sizes, short or long wheelbase, different roof heights, 6 axle ratios and options for 12 – 17 interior seats. Its versatility no doubt contributed to the Transit’s amazing success. 76FT3001 Ford Transit Mk3 covers the Ford Transit timeline from 1986 to 2003 and our model is registered H866 ELP from 1990 and is a replica of the long wheelbase version, which you may have seen released as a single model some time ago. Once again, it appears in pure white with black and chrome trim and a pale grey interior. As before in real life, the Mk3 upgrades included a new shape, various styles and formats as before, lending itself to increased and diverse customer requirements. 76FT4001 Ford Transit Mk4 – White is a replica of the 3rd Generation Transit dating from 2000-2006 and Oxford has released it previously as a single model, so if you missed it first time around, get it this time! The 1:76 scale Oxford replica of the Ford Transit is registered BK53 NBO from 2003. In contrast to the all white body with black and silver external trim, the interior is moulded in black including the floor, dashboard, steering wheel and interior door panels while the seats are pale grey. Designed in the USA, the Mk4 contained many cutting edge features and was available with automatic transmission, with either front or rear wheel drive or a turbo-diesel engine option. Further features introduced in 2003 included a new instrument cluster with a digital odometer and from 2004 there was also an optional 6-speed manual gearbox. The 76FT001 Short Wheelbase (SWB) with Medium Roof represents the latest Mk5 Transit with its streamlined sloping nose, modelled on the SWB option and registered ND09 AWF. Painted in brilliant white, it features black external trim and silver wheels. Across the rear doors, you will see the Transit name on the near side and the Ford badge on the offside. The interior is moulded in pale grey with black dashboard and steering wheel. You’ve seen this model with the low roof already, so add this variation to your fleet.
