Ford Transits - Top Gear 1997 Jeremy Clarkson
The Ford Transit is a family of light commercial vehicles manufactured by the Ford Motor Company since 1965, primarily as a cargo van, but also available in other configurations including a large passenger van (marketed as the Ford Tourneo in some markets since 1995), cutaway van chassis, and a pickup truck.
The vehicle is also known as the Ford T-Series, a nomenclature shared with Ford's other light commercial vehicles, the Ford F-Series trucks, and the Ford E-Series chassis.
As of 2015, 8 million Transit vans have been sold, making it the third best-selling van of all time and has been produced across four basic platform generations (debuting in 1965, 1986, 2000, and 2013 respectively), with various "facelift" versions of each.

Wow. A MK1 transit and a MK3 Jeremy Clarkson
Jeremy Clarkson was born as a middle aged man
Man, I miss that kind of advertising. Showing the transit drifting and being sent flat out on a rallycross stage? That's how to advertise a van 😂
Petrol ?🤢😱
They rust very quickly and built very cheaply
Some vehicles just identify as Transits.
I got married in 97. I could swear humanity was more advanced than this hahahah
Have that haircut ever been in fashion?
Even as a young(ish) man Clarkson was an old man...
yes but in America they are slow and uncomfortable
I like how at this point, 'old videos of Jeremy Clarkson' is a genre of videos in and of itself.
I remember those old vans roaming around the streets in the 90's. I loved seeing them as a kid. I would love seeing them again.
Amazing how influential these Clarkson/Wilman segments from original Top Gear have been to motoring and entertainment television.
It's fascinating to learn that British and North American drivers went for the "custom van" at the same time. I remember when every street had at least one van customized for camping.
Clarkson’s look would fit in for 1967 but this was filmed in 1997.
Forgot he still had the Clarkson buster beer belly in 97’ 😁
How can you not smile just looking at Jeremy?
Vantastic. That's the word for today. I have driven Vans my whole life. I'm a GMC Savana extended 1 ton 410 horsepower tuned cargo van myself. But right now I'd settle 18 mpg transit.
In 1997 that van was only 32 years old which means today it would be the same as jeremy clarkson talking about a 1990 transit van with the same nostalgia
I'm just wondering what sort of Nurburgring lap time the late,
