Ford Transit Custom Black Edition launched

Van users who prefer their vehicles to have a customised look are going to like the new Transit Custom Black Edition.

Based on the current 290 Trend short-wheelbase, standard-height variant, it features a 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS) 2.0 litre EcoBlue diesel engine which is mated to a six-speed manual gearbox.

Despite being named Black Edition, customers will have a choice of Absolute Black, Deep Impact Blue, Race Red or Frozen White paintwork.

On the first of those options, the roof panel, door mirror housings, side stripes and unique front skid plate are all finished in Race Red. For the other three, Jet Black is the contrast colour.

Completing the upgrades is a set of black 17” alloy wheels and a sports suspension set-up that comprises recalibrated spring and damper settings plus a thicker front anti-roll bar. A rear anti-roll bar is fitted, too.

Ford is planning to build just 1,000 examples of the Transit Custom Black Edition. Deliveries will begin across Europe early next year.

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
