cort16 Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I think there's an unwritten competition on who can make the ugliest van. You can leave it Peugeot to come up with the worst one of course. Angrydicky, AnthonyG, michael t and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldcars Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 All the plastic cladding on the Transit sills and arches will be to hide the fact it rots in 2 years. Charlie Croker, stephen01, fred and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2MB Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Wonder who'll be the first to spot rust coming through on a new shape transit. That said I quite like the Custom. At least it's an all new design rather than a gopping new snout glued on to last decade's van Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timewaster Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I was going to start a thread on this very subject. But couldn't be arsed. It is not a new thing, it has gone on in medium vans for a while but now the bigger ones are catching up.For evidence see Kangoo Doblo face lift Expert etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flat4alfa Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 What has happened to van styling? How far back are you going? Don't forget D3. Don't forget Belphegor either. More of a truck, but still more of a fright. Asimo, Junkman, Bamboocarman and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HH-R Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I like the styling of the new Doblo, Royal Mail are running them in droves (doubt they've bought them), the new smaller Transit (custom?) looks pretty good too. That Iveco is gopping! I've not had the pleasure* of seeing one yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie L Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Yeah I must say I think some of the new Transits look quite smart, especially in custom trim. Not a patch on the loveliness of the Commers* and Bedford CAs of the 60's though .... or the Morris J vans of the 50's. Oh .... forgot .... the Ford 400e too.* with the exception of that stunningly shite one in Junkman's post. You've still got to love it though! Mind you driver might have given the screen a wipe first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 Van development and styling peaked right here, in 1947. (as long as you don't want to drive quickly). mat_the_cat, Shep Shepherd, Sudsprint and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Longbridge Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I'm pretty sure the Iveco has a hairlip. Although surgery is possible, I think it's too late for it. Poor thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sterling Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 When I first saw the new 2013 Ford Transit "Custom" I honestly thought it was some sort of run-out LDV Maxus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaseracer Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 That Iveco is gopping! I've not had the pleasure* of seeing one yet. Bloke next door has one as his works van. I am allowing the shrubbery to grow wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthecapriman Posted May 1, 2015 Share Posted May 1, 2015 I've got a 60 reg Sprinter company van, soon to be replaced for a new Sprinter. Exactly the same van except the front end. But I think they're one of the few current/recent big vans that look ok. Everything else is utterly hideous, styling wise! Not that a Sprinter is in any way perfect of course. Here's my own 'proper' van though! From the days they actually made a decent job of styling commercials. eddyramrod, Charlie Croker, 500tops and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
