A name which has become infamous as the classic light commercial work van, the Transit is one of the most popular commercial vehicles and we’re hosting the Ford Transit Van Club to mark this special occasion on Sunday 1 June.
The Ford Transit Van Club is inviting Transit owners to come along to celebrate 60 years of the Ford Transit, including bringing your own examples to display at this fantastic event! Find out how to book visitor tickets and exhibitor tickets below.
Celebration, Show & Museum in 1 ticket!
Your ticket won’t just gain you entry to the Ford Transit 60th Anniversary celebration, you’ll also be able to explore the National Metro & Mini Show supported by Peter James Insurance, which will also be happening on 1 June here at the British Motor Museum! This is the main event of the year for owners of Metros, classic Minis and Modern MINIs to come together and enjoy a great day out. To find out more about the National Metro & Mini Show, click here.
As if all of this wasn’t enough, your ticket comes with the added bonus of allowing you access to our Museum and Collection Centre, which collectively display over 400 historic British cars! The Museum is packed with some of the most important vehicles from years gone by, such as the first Land Rover known as ‘Huey’ and very first Mini ‘621 AOK’, and if you’re looking for something closer to home, check out the Ford Heritage Collection on display near the Museum entrance.
Please note that your Ford Transit 60th Anniversary tickets (including Member and Premium Member tickets) will also gain you access to the National Metro & Mini Show, and vice versa.
