Old pictures of Finnish Transits

[aki74]

Magazine called Mobilisti had a feature on Transits history. Here are pictures from Ford of Finland archives and files of Mobilisti-magazine.
I hope they wont get mad at me scanning and posting them here...

ive never seen one like that!! i posted an ex-hearse a while back that was on ebay.de but that one looks more elegant

What great photos! That luton looks like an early extra, with the overhang. I think that maybe the reason there are no more bank vans is maybe they were a huge security risk!! I loved the hearse too, different!
