Happy birthday, E-line.

And while I'm not up to date on modern Ford vehicles, the nose on that thing doesn't look like any Ford van I've ever seen despite the blue oval on the grille.   I suspect that this is something made by Ford in Europe specifically for the European market, and the long and narrow registration plate on the bumper seems to support that theory.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

You're right. Like this one, it's British.

Happy birthday anniversary, Econo

What's pictured there is a UK/German Ford Transit 190 (1993-2000). I remember the first Transit vans on the road in England in 1965. Here's the dearly beloved Mk 1 (pig snout) 1971-77

Yeah, Ford doesn't make Econolines anymore, only stupid furriner Transits.

Oh, well...sic Transit gloria mundi...



Birthday? :yaw:

Yeah, I guess that happened.

(Again.)

Ehhhh...77...enough is enough, don'cha think? :roll: :shrug

Oh well, thanks anyway! ;) :hug:

I get the distinction of being the most belated birthday wishes giver in the thread! Happy belated birthday fellow Sagittarian!
