The third generation of the Ford Transit was manufactured/assembled in several European countries between 1986 and 2003. It was a completely new shape with bullet shaped cabin/ bonnet and came in various styles from 3/4 door van, 4-door minibus, 4-door crew cab or even a 2-door pickup.
It was a favourite with utility companies in particular and here we see it as used by British Gas, registered G257 XVX from 1989/90. The modern bright royal blue British Gas livery is complemented by equally modern 'flame' graphics in pale blue and orange, with printing in white across the cab doors and across the back.
