New Ford Transit prices announced: no increase for one in four models

The new Ford Transit will hit Britain's roads next month with the same great value as the current Transit range. In many cases the new product will be available at the same price as the current model. The most popular van in Britain is the 280 SWB 85PS panel van, which remains at £13,650.

New standard features on Transit include: CD/radio, ABS with disc brakes all round, full steel bulkhead, front mud flaps, high-output alternator, upgraded starter motor and upgraded security systems.

Steve Kimber, director of commercial vehicles, Ford of Britain, said: "We are proud to have produced a new generation of Transit which improves substantially over the current model in so many areas and yet which will be sold at such a competitive price."
