At last I have had the chance to take a picture of a Ford Transit with an open bed as per 66e.

On display at the Aston Manor Transport Museum in Aldridge, West Midlands. This one is a very early example, made in 1965.

Christian, very nice, thank you for the view.

AND, AND, AND
Much nicer than Conchita Wurst.

Doesn't take much to be nicer

That's a nice old Transit, is it original?

It has been looked after very nicely.

reminds me of the mk1 transit van on an old building company I worked for in the 80's , the driver used to polish it so much he polished out most of the sign writing and wore the paint through to the primer in a few places , if you ever got a lift in it you had to cover the seats and floor with dust sheets and remove your footware

That transit has without doubt been restored "25 years reliable service" to a firm of painter and decorators!!!!!

My arse is that all original!!!

UTTER BOLLOCKS!!!..........no offence Sid!!!!

You've obviously never heard of Mr Sid "Ghosthunter" Norton then. I hear you have to wear a surgical gown and mask to sit in any of his vehicles.

Ghosty would never sit in any of his Rollers in anything other than silk!!!

...and the path to each car is laced with rose petals. The Bloodhounds have to salute me as I walk past them, or they know they won't get their weekly serving of Caviar and Bonio biscuits...

Ghosty.
