Next Transit model (MK8)

Postby Mike » Thu Jun 16, 2011 3:40 pm

Some spy pics of the next Transit have turned up, I guess we'll call it the MK8 but it's only a facelift (think Mk3,4,5) by all accounts, the next proper van will be the MK9?

I think we'll have to wait for the mask to be removed.

this is proberbly just to help mk7 sales in it's final year(s) - looks to me like it's a mk7 facelift (bit like the mk2 phase 2) as it's not got a new design front wing - and that was what was decided makes it a new mk :D

Looks like the russians have been at it just like the Mk5 type abortion that was on here the other week.
