It appears to be SuperSPORT Van not Supervan, I imagine that is deliberate!

MB 1 said: They forget they can't brake or handle properly. What do you mean? And what are you comparing it too? When full its a dog, but crucially when empty a transit is very nifty in the corners. Brakes designed to stop 3.5t of van only having to stop 1.something tonne and an unloaded rear axle that will slide beautifully with relaxed slow steering making it a doddle to place. In my opinion it handles better than any normal shopping hatchback.

Empty, and on wet roundabouts, it was a lot of fun...

Quite like the idea myself! I knew a bycicle dealer in Kent who used a Cosworth Sierra engined Transit for his every day bike deliveries. White with big blue Ford Sport stripes and about 280BHP on short van gearing = BIG Fun!

that is wicked, nice one ford but i reckon its a FWD... best off with an old RWD transit with a cosworth lump, at least you could have some back end action with that!

I think this is an upgraded SportVan, not a SuperVan, hence they are calling it SuperSportVan, not SuperVan?

SimonSaid said: No no no, this isn't right at all. THIS is a Supervan goddamnit!  Best of the three (now four-ish) I reckon, though in part due to favourite-Matchbox-toy emotional bias. Take your pick....I think SuperVan 2 gets my vote too..
