About the Ford Transit Mk7
The Mk7 Ford Transit, introduced in 2006, was a significant evolution of the V347 platform, winning the International Van of the Year award in 2007. It featured a more car-like interior with a dashboard-mounted gear lever and improved ergonomics compared to its predecessors. The 2.2-litre Duratorq TDCi engine provided a balance of efficiency and torque, making it a staple for small businesses and delivery fleets. Known for its car-like handling and vast range of configurations, the Mk7 remains a common sight on UK roads and a popular choice for camper conversions.
