I remember Transit v4 V6

Postby ROVER25 » Tue Mar 30, 2021 5:49 pm

´Hello,
I´m new here and I have memories of Transit MKi andII. Here , in Germany, there were a lot of MKi and II. Today, I saw a young woman in a red Motorhome , MKi. With a door between the tail ligts. The lady was accelerating quite fast and I believe to have heard a v6 sound, And remembered that there were quite a few Transits with a v6 engine. 90 PS or up to v6 ESSEX with 138 PS. This engine was also in the last Capri.
I had the v4 engines in my 12 and 15 m´s. M meaning masterpiece. You cou put a v4 1,7 in a 1,2 v4 without any trouble.
I played a lot around with these engines. My 12m 1964 had 40 Ps on paper. But after changing a few items an putting in a gearbox of a 15m RS ( v4 1.7, 75 PS ) it was faster than the first VW golf with 50 PS.
THose were the days....
By the way, there were some SAABs with a 1.5 v4 engine and the strongest was a rallye one with something like 160 PS.On the engine exhaust there are letters like A B and C , meaning the ccm´s

Okay, have a nice evening, I´m sitting in the garden and the sun is shining. Do You although have summertime ?
Greetings,
Detlef
