Im thinking of buying a Transit Sport but i dont really know anything about them. Im seeing what appear to be a few different models. Im not sure if its just what people call them or if they are different in any way. Ive seen Transit Sport, Transit Sportvan and Transit ST. Are these all the same?

Im looking at the ealry blue ones. All the early ones only blue? Apparently they only made 500 of these? Was it actually a limited run?

I know theres a new model now that seem to come in red, white, blue, black. Are these exactly the same van, or different to the ealry blue ones in any way at all?

Also, what about re-mapping them? Ive seen figures of 130 / 140 bhp as standard so not sure what they can be re-mapped too or if it causes any issues?

Any other info is greatly appreciated.

Cheers.

 

Got a blue 5spd 130ps,

Nice to drive,not bad on fuel (am getting it remapped later this year),eats tyres tho,

Had it 4yrs now from new,egr valve went 2 yrs ago under warranty

Tbh can't really fault it

Personally think blue is the nicest colour

 

BTW get a slightly later 140ps with 6spd if I were you

 

Ditto

Im selling mine if you want one

Blue , with full leather

I have had it from new and its been looked after without any corners cut

Pm me if your intrested

 

i have been looking at these ( not that i can afford one atm) but the late ones seem the better option. get yaelf on www.fordtransit.org and have a panda around...

 

Thought were remapping it Paul

 

Going for a new one mate

 

My mate has got a new red one he has had a good few cracking vans

 

I like them in red , would look superb with the Caltex on the back

The new one is silver and im 50/ 50 about it to be honest

 

Ford rep rang me last week to say they got a new one In do I fancy a go in it but their is a whole new spec van coming out later this year with stop start etc so road tax will be less,said I'll wait till later

 

Only prob is it will be performance blue and i wanted a change

 

red is stunning in them, do they handle well?

 

be quick

I stand by my original statement re colour

What colour are the stripes on a silver one ?

 

Dark Grey

there is somthing about the van that just doesnt look like a sport van tho

 

Sounds like you want a red one Paul......as if your saying that now just think what you will be like when its on the drive......

I am looking to get a new van this year.....maybe an ST

 

Maybe cos as its silver there are already loads that colour and will look like a tarted up transit unlike the sport vans which have generally been a different colour to the norm,be it blue,red,black etc

Not seen a silver one so can't say tbh,pics?

 

Cheers, thanks for the info.

So is is there a difference between the 'Sport' and 'ST', as im a bit confused with people calling them different things.

Are the early ones a limited edition and only available in blue?

What do the later 6 speed 140 models have over the earlier 5 speed 130 models? What else is different?

NORTH YORKS RS SPARES, please can you Pm me full details of your van and a price please. Cheers.

 

Ford didn't do an ST its just a sticker etc that owners have put on

Early blue ones were supposed to be a ltd run of 500 apparently

Later ones I imagine have a bit more poke and better mph,but I imagine with a remap this is not a problem,I'll find out soon...

 

Ok cheers, thanks for that.

 

I,ve just got a brand new 200ps 350 rwd 6 speed goes well even loded up and tyres do around 30k as my boss has an 08 plate one, dont look as good but a better van in my opinion

 

This is the lump they should of put in the transit sport

 

Aye up bud how's tricks?
