AutoExec Summary
Ford’s iconic SuperVan, originally built in 1971 as a promotional tool for the Transit, has been meticulously restored to its former glory for the Transit’s upcoming 60th anniversary. The van, which featured a body built atop a Cooper Monaco chassis with a GT40 engine, captured attention with its unique design. After years of being lost and passed through various owners, ex-Ford engineering apprentice Andy Browne took on the challenge of rebuilding the SuperVan using original components. The restored SuperVan made its debut at Ford’s Transit Day celebrations, marking the countdown to the Transit’s 60th birthday in 2025. Multiple generations of SuperVans were displayed, showcasing the evolution of this iconic vehicle.
