Ford Transit Custom, Le Mans in Lime Green.

£43,000. 

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

I can’t tell if it’s solid or metallic but reminds me of the metallic ultimate green of the Ford Mk2.5 Focus RS.

It’s a fantastic colour, though it doesn’t suit every car.

Absolutely. But I’ll be damned if it isn’t worth at least trying it on every car, just to check.

Looks good, maybe a little too much black bumpers.

Unfortunately the Transit is a custom colour not a Ford pallet.

There are other marques, some have quite similar colours in the past or still do.

VW Scirocco

Vauxhall Corsa 

Skoda has a darker version of it.

And again, we don’t get any of the good shit here...

This thing is awesome!

Something about nutty sports vans is exciting to me.

Also, an automatic. You don't see them every day, or even any day on a Transit.

I love the color and dig the front end but for some reason the sides seem oddly tall. The window line seems too high relative to the size of the vehicle.

We can actually get the Transit in green (I’m not sure I’ve ever seen one that wasn’t white), but not that green:

It looks great with the Skodas' crisp lines

I’m afraid the feds would have it off you.

You get the Transit and Transit Connect but not the Fiesta van , Transit Courier and Transit Custom. Sorry.

I think the high beltline works for it.

From inside the beltline doesn’t seem any higher than most other cars or vans. 

It’s in various forms,

L1H1,

L1H2,

L2H1,

L2H2,

Ford gives us some odd greens here.

I’d love to see the new Skoda Octavia when it gets released, in that colour.

((it’s still got some disguise on))

I know, and I am not happy. Aftermarket parts are also common over there for TC’s.

Ye’, it was curious Ford allowed a load of U.S. aftermarket accessories comp anies the day with a Ranger getting measurements of the vehic l e and it’s bed. When the accessories have been out around the world since 2015.

The RS Connect is amazing.

It is, though not an RS, most of the time it’s just a bodykit with no performance enhancements over a standard vehicle.

Though Ford Europe did make a one off Ford Transit Connect RS back in 2003.

Focus Mk1 RS running gear with a Connect Express body.

Half way through the video is a newer Connect, running on Focus Mk3 ST.

250hp,

Never realized how much I needed one of those. That transit would look killer is the rear was lowered to match the front, maybe some air bags, throw a Cobb bundle at it. Ford where you at? This is how you compete with the C8!

Is that what you bought when you got rid of piglet ? With the gorgeous blue? S orry, I’m terrible with euro brands that haven’t made it to America.

No, I’m on my third Skoda Superb (bigger sister to the Octavia).

The replacement for Piglet

is Sandy.

Americans tend to have... different... tastes in accessories somehow, and I suspect that the American accessory companies are completely different companies from the ROW accessory companies, so there’d be no data sharing (and just straight-up importing accessories wouldn’t make sense except in very low volumes).

And, also, Ford likes to claim that the US Ranger is totally a different truck from the T6, re-engineered to be tougher for America or some shit like that. (It’s probably cheapened for America.)

There’s plenty of accessories that I think would appeal to Americans.
