Correct me if I’m wrong, but does the badge on the front say Cock?

Yes, made by Cock.

I guess in Dutch that isn't as funny.

Although the picture is of a prototype, something very similar went into production for a car sharing scheme in Amsterdam - search for WITKAR.

That's a Police Aware sticker in the side window

No in Dutch they use another word. I do not know why this has cock badge on it.

Old video with English commentary.

Witkar now operates Smart Forfour and have locations all over the NL.

LOL at that Ecky ad!   The roof bars are ace but so are all the references to what a great shagging van it would make...

Our family car for ten years, though it was dark blue not grey.

Delivery was to your home, one of my earliest memories.

Hang on, they built 213s on an A plate? I remember them appearing on a B plate, but never earlier. This one graces the opening of Morrisey’s Suedehead video.

AROnline says the first cars were given to the press in June 1984, so they would have been A platers. I don't know if any were sold to the public before 1st August 1984.

Probably an Essex V6. Still slow as it's heavy and 4-speed, maybe even 3-speed auto. And about 14mpg.

Pre-production prototype out on the road in 2011. Camouflaged with stuck on bits.

This model Transit wasn't on sale till 2013.

 

 

 

In 2011 this may have looked like some kind of Fiat van.
