Ok, there's something wrong in case of the engine availability (missing Cologne V4 and Kent engines!) and they forgot to point to the "british" MK1 Transit development origins! 4x4 versions are also missing! But why do you mean someone has ruined the page? There are some mistakes, but ruined?

From your british point of view, ok!
But here it's the "true" MK1, because it's a van and the original name! Nothing VW!

Nice one, but deserves a restoration! Hope it won't end one day on a scrapyard, if it's too far gone!
