The incoming Pro Electric SuperVan has some mighty big work boots to fill...
If we need to remind you what a Ford SuperVan is then remove yourself from the field of play and have a little word with yourself. Because we’re talking promotional silliness at its very best - hairy-chested seventies, eighties and nineties V8-based silliness. From Ford. In the shape of Transit vans. Honestly, if these weren’t dreamt up in the pub over a Rothmans-filled ashtray and a beer-stained pool table, then all the things our dads told us were a lie.
Finally there was Supervan 3, which was actually built on the guts of Supervan 2 in 1994 to promote the then new Transit. Fortunately this wasn’t too tricky because the shell was only glassfibre, so could be tweaked to resemble the latest model. It was tweaked underneath, too; Ford swapped out the DFL for its successor, the prodigiously powerful 3.5-litre HB, designed by Cosworth primarily for F1 racing.
