3001 - A Ford Transit Van (1979)

6 wheeled, gull-wing doored Ford Transit van of the future from somewhere around about 1979. The star of this picture is undoubtedly the van and not the driver of the Stardust Rover although his presence justifies the coverage in this blog.

The van was commissioned by the Ford Motor Company for use at shows and the images were used in various magazines of the day and of the type which might excite van and custom car enthusiast.
Time has not been kind to the van and its story can be viewed over at the Rods 'n' Sods forum
 
 
along with a lot more images and information.

  1. I owned this vehicle for a time in the 90's. Not practical driving it about and the gul wing doors were a bit of a nuisance. Never the less people love it and wanted to talk about to me all the time, sadly I sold her.
